Talented King’s Musicians Shine Brightly in Exams

Last term saw an impressive display of musical talent from our King’s musicians, as twenty-five pupils achieved success in practical music exams ranging from Grade 1 through to diploma level.

These achievements covered a variety of instruments, including voice, piano, strings, woodwind, and organ.

Among the notable successes, Music Scholar Matteo S passed his Grade 8 violin exam. His fellow Scholars, Benedict R and Tom R, also shone brightly, achieving Grade 7 successes with distinction. All three play an important role in our school music ensembles with regular solo performances in concerts.

Hannah B, a regular performer at Open Mic Nights, achieved a significant milestone by obtaining a diploma in Popular Music Vocals (DipLCM). Her achievement is particularly commendable as it involved a demanding recital with detailed programme notes and a viva voce with the examiners. This diploma recognizes her exceptional talent and her ability to engage with a live audience, as well as her profound understanding of the music she performed.

Congratulations to all our King’s musicians on your achievements and ongoing hard work.
