End of Summer Term Newsletter
Hi everyone,
Another successful term and academic year is coming to an end! It has been an absolute joy to watch so many of our students progress, perform, pass exams, and make wonderful music this year.
Summer Concert Success
We would like to start by thanking and congratulating everyone who took part in our summer concert. We think it was our best one yet, featuring a massive variety of music and talent. All of our performers did an amazing job—especially those stepping onto the stage for the very first time. Overcoming those first-performance nerves is a huge hurdle, and we are incredibly proud of you all. A massive well done to everybody!
We also want to give a special mention to Jazz, Joanna, Ann, and Tiago for helping out and making sure the evening ran smoothly.
Student/Teacher Spotlights
DC The Band: A special congratulations to a couple of Steve’s adult students. They initially started lessons to prepare for a one-off birthday performance and are now part of a regularly performing band! You can check out their upcoming gigs on Instagram: @_dctheband
Emily: We want to wish the best of luck to Emily, who is taking her prestigious LRSM Diploma later this year. You’ve got this, Emily!
