String recital (virtual)

With lockdown restrictions this year, our very talented string students recorded their pieces and formed an online concert.

The students tuned their own instruments, prepared their own pieces with teacher supervision online, downloaded their piano accompaniment from You Tube and practised and recorded their own pieces.

The students have done an amazing effort and should be very proud of their huge achievement.

We wish to thank the following students for their enthusiasm and for taking part in the online concert, and a big thank you to their parents for their support and assistance.
