Many congratulations to Justin (Grade 6) and Leigh (Grade 8), both of whom got Distinction in their exams this term.

This took place in Tonbridge School during the February half term. As ever, it was great fun and a wonderful way to learn, gain confidence, and make friends all at once. Great that Ella came along and took part, performing in 2 of the concerts.
It would be lovely if more of my students could take part in the course next year. It does cost around £200, but for a 3-day course, including wonderful teaching from carefully-picked tutors, a chance to meet and hear 2 world-class pianists, 3 concerts, and competitions, it's actually wonderful value. And lunch is included! Watch this space (and my emails) for details of next year's KIPC as soon as they are available.

This took place in the home of Nancy Litten, in Maidstone. The adjudicator was Nadia Lasserson. It was well attended, and a most enjoyable afternoon. Congratulations to Ella, who played very well and earned a medal for her class. 

Many congratulations to Lucy (G7), Jenny (G6), Holly (G6), Emilia (G5), Alex (G4), Suzanna (G2), Melissa (G2), Stephanie (G1) and Sophie(G1) for passing their exams. You were all brilliant - well done! And thank you all for being so patient, too, when the results took so long to be released. 

We had a lovely pupils' concert in Barming school on December 10. It lasted about an hour, with cakes and a great social time afterwards. Many thanks to all who attended, either as performers or as audience.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in Maidstone Music Festival this weekend. So many lovely performances; I was (and still am!) really proud of you all. So to Isabel, Lucy, Suzanna, Anya, Rose, Samuel, Jenny, ella, Grace, Bella, Maddie, Marion, Holly, Tim, Joanne, Annie, Dylan, Philip, Ben, Megan, Callum and Melissa...well done!!! (And here's to next year)

This took place, as always, in Barming Primary school. It was, as always, a huge success. For some people, it was their concert and they can all be very proud of themselves. There was a wide age range and a wide experience range, and without exception everyone played very well. The social gathering which followed was also greatly enjoyed. Thanks to Jenny and Callum's Mum for baking and bringing delicious cakes. (And thanks to Lidl for making the ones that I brought!)

Congratulations to Miriam (Grade 1), Leo (Grade 1), Rose (Grade 2), Ella (Grade 3), Marion (Grade 3) and Maddie (Grade 2) for their excellent exam results. Well done, all of you!

Congratulations to Leigh, Bella, Maddie, Grace, Ella, Leo and Joanne, all of whom performed very well at this event. I didn't manage to hear all of you play because I was busy helping out in other classes, but I do know that you all played very well and the adjudicator, Nancy Litten was very impressed. Well done, everyone.

Congratulations to Annie (Grade 7), Matthew (Grade 1), Grace (Grade 1), Helena (Grade 2), Sue (Grade 2), Dan (Grade 2), Samuel (Grade 2), Cassius (Grade 5), and Anya (Grade 3). I'm really proud of you all.
