  • Piano Concert raises £150 for Betina’s Lessons

    The piano concert last Saturday raised £150 for the Kampala Music School Bursary fund. A record number of students attended and were performing, 27 in total. Everybody gave it there best shot and though most people were very nervous, they played well. After the presentation of the piano points cup (which arrived just in time thanks to Mrs Hay) piano points and exam certificates were awarded. Half way through the programme we heard our sponsored student from Kampala Music School, Betina play her violin. I have posted videos of three performances from the concert below. If you would like a high-quality video clip of your child’s performance then please send a memory stick in with them to their next lesson.
