The Chapel was filled with spring sunshine, smiling faces and beautiful music as we welcomed parents for our first Breakfast Concert of the Lent Term on Monday, celebrating the progress of our musicians, from beginners up to around Grade 2 standard.

Guests were welcomed with a selection of fruit, tea, coffee, juice and a sausage sandwich, whilst our young performers tuned up their instruments and had a final run through. The audience were treated to a wonderful variety of solo performances including voice, accordion, piano, guitar, drums, violin, recorder, flute and saxophone, as well as a particularly charming trio of clarinets that brought plenty of smiles to close the concert!

For many of our young performers, this was their first time playing in a concert, a milestone moment that they should be proud of. The poise and confidence they showed was a testament to the hours of dedicated practice put in with their Peripatetic Music Teachers in the weeks leading up to this point.

Mr Pears congratulated the children, praising not only their performances on the day but recognising the hard work done quietly behind the scenes to become concert ready. A special thank you to Mrs Mumford whose piano accompaniment supported so many of the children and helped them to shine.

We are incredibly proud of every single performer and they have all earned a Silver Star. What a wonderful way to start the day!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
