More Music Exam Success!
This week, we would like to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Marian D from 8TE. He has just received the results of his grade 6 music exam in Clarinet with Trinity College London. He has achieved a wonderful score of 96/100 which is a Distinction – the highest grading. This is such a fantastic achievement, especially whilst he has been unable to have lessons in person. He took the exam on 2nd February, and had to do this via video, rather than being in person in the NMPAT Music centre like it usually would. Marian also has lessons on the Drum kit, and is an all-round musician. He recently submitted an excellent Electronic Dance Music piece that he created on Bandlab as part of his home learning. Well done, Marian! This is a well deserved recognition of all the effort you have put in to developing your skills. Keep up the good work!
