Joyous music-making at our Spring Solos Concert/Playtogether this afternoon! ๐ท
After our 50-day practice challenge (with some well-earned certificates and sweet treats), progress this term really shone through in everyoneโs beautiful solo playing. Well-known favourites were played together at a lively tempo, and some great new ensemble music came together on the spot ๐ถโจ
Bravo, everyone! Iโm especially proud of the wonderfully supportive community youโve become. ๐

A lovely end-of-term Solos Concert and Christmas Playtogether this afternoon! ๐๐ถ
From Twinkles to The Swan and the first movement of the Elgar Concerto, everyone played with such confidence and warmth, and listened so attentively. ๐
A special bravo to our adult players, who shone both as soloists and in our quartet of The Wellerman. ๐ And seeing everyone chatting over tea and cookies was the perfect finish. โ๐ช
Feeling so proud โ a beautiful way to end the term! ๐ปโจ
