Well done to Greg and George, both of whom passed Grade 1 during the Summer. I'm really proud of you both.

MMF took place, as always, on the last weekend of November and so many of you took part this year. I think everyone had a great time, with solo classes, duet classes, and the wonderful Meet The Composer class, which this year featured Pam Wedgwood. Pam is not only a great composer and a lovely person, but also the President of Maidstone Music Festival. She really enjoyed her time with us, and many of you really enjoyed meeting her and playing to her.
We now have a new venue for pupils' concerts....St Nicholas church, Allington. And what a wonderful place it is, too, with plenty of seating, a good electric piano, a car park, toilet facilities, and somewhere to enjoy cake!
We have had 2 concerts there and both have proved a great success. Many thanks to all who came along, either as performer, or as audience. Congratualtions to everyone who took and passed exams during the last academic year.
These are : Eleanor Day (Grades 2 and 3) Ella Savell (Grade 8) Harriet Cryer-Mills (Grade 1) Senna Al-Sinawi (Grade 1) Elia Khakwani (Grade 4) Tesan Gurung (Grade 3) Bethany Day (Grade 4) Leo Fleet (Grade 7) A huge amount of work went into all these achievements. Well done, all of you. I've just realised that I didn't post any of these since 2023, so here's the "catch-up".
Congratulations to: Bethany (Grades 2 and 3), Lewis (Grade 1), Sasha (Grade 6), Elia (Grade 3), Eleanor (Grade 1), Senna (Introductory), Megan (Grade 3), Tesan (Introductory and Grade 2), Ruby (Introductory), Peyton (Introductory), George (Introductory), Amelia (Grade 1), Harry (Grade 3), and Benjamin (Grade 6). I'm so proud of all of you...your hard work really paid off. We had a really brilliant concert. Twenty two people took part, several playing more than one piece. For several people, it was their first public performance, which might have been quite scary, but in fact everyone had a really good time and were very pleased with themselves. We ate LOTS of cake and it was a lovely afternoon.
Congratulations to Justin (Grade 8) and Leyla (Grade 1), both of whom achieved Distinction marks in their exams.
Many congratulations to everyone who passed exams during terms 5 and 6. Amelia (Pre-Grade Introductory), Benjamin (Grade 5), Eleanor (Pre-Grade Introductory), Elia (Grade 2), Evie (Pre-Grade Introductory), Hope (Pre-Grade Introductory), Leo (Grade 5), Levente (Grade 5), Lily (Pre-Grade Introductory), Megan (Grade 2), Sasha (Grade 5). I'm really proud of you all.
