  • Concert of duets raises £260 for Music School

    The last “Playing Together” concert at King’s School, Chester was very well attended. Thirty students performed duets, trios and ensembles which included a variety of other instruments including guitars, saxophones, flutes and a recorder.

    Some hi-resolution photographs of the concert are available in a password-protected gallery. (Access details for this gallery will be emailed to parents directly) All proceeds from any sales of these photographs will go to the Kampala Music School Fund. Video clips are also available, (produced to order) of your child’s performance on DVD, memory stick or by digital download, price £5. Contact me if you are interested in one of these.

  • Thankyou card from Kampala Music School

    I received a lovely card through the post today from Fiona Carr of Friends of Kampala Music School acknowledging receipt of the £300 raised for Betina’s lessons last year. The concerts actually raised £430 but I have kept the surplus aside to provide any other disbursements Betina may need in the course of her lessons (exams, music etc).

    Fiona requested that I might share the card with my students, so with thanks to Oliver who created the backing track on Noteflight, please see below the embedded video presentation of the delightful Ugandan craft card!

  • Students perform in Chester recital

    Thirty students performed in the Charity Piano Recital last week at The King’s School.  The concert raised a further £180 towards Betina’s lesson bursary bringing the total raised this year to over £400. With a year of lessons costing £300 this means there is a surplus to go towards her exam fees and other costs. Certificates were presented and the winners of the composition competition performed their work along with noteflight accompaniment!

    A selection of video clips from the concert are available to watch below. More may be added in due course…
