Celebrating Musical Excellence

Many congratulations to Year 9 student Melanie Y, on recently securing a place in the elite London Youth Wind Band, run by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Melanie auditioned at the Guildhall in December, performing Richard Strauss’s Horn Concerto, which she is preparing for her ABRSM Grade 8 examination. Her first London course will end with a public concert at St Gabriel’s Church in Pimlico on Friday, 20th February. Melanie has also been a member of the prestigious National Youth Girls’ Choir for over two years. This April, she will take part in the choir’s Spring residential course, culminating in a performance at Warwick Arts Centre in Warwickshire. To be recognised at a national level both as a choral singer and brass player, reflects Melanie’s exceptional musicianship and commitment. 

We are incredibly proud of her achievements and look forward to following her musical journey in the years ahead.
