2014 Review
The most memorable event of this
year was of course our piano concert
which we held at Bingley Methodist
Church in May. I was thrilled that
nine students participated and the
family and friends of Libby, Charlie,
Jade, Beth, Daisy, Katie, Marianna,
Lizzy and Francis all thoroughly
enjoyed the students' performances.
For very many of the students it
was their first experience of solo
performance, and they all
performed brilliantly. The good
news is that the next concert is
now booked for the end of
February!

During the summer exam period this year we

had four exam entries. Congratulations to
Jade, Manuel and Thea on successfully
passing their Grade 1 exams, and to Francis
who passed his Grade 2.

I am delighted to welcome six new students

this year: Stuart, Sarah, Euan, Anna, Freya
and Chloe.

THANK YOU
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support during the last year. Choosing to study piano is a big
commitment and I hope that you feel that I am providing a rounded, educational and fun experience. I feel so privileged
to teach all of my amazing students and I really do appreciate your flexibility and hard work as parents in encouraging
your children to practise and to enjoy their piano lessons with me. We have lots more to look forward to next year, and I
am very grateful for your continued support. Here's to a fabulous 2015!
