Thirty students performed in the Charity Piano Recital last week at The King’s School.  The concert raised a further £180 towards Betina’s lesson bursary bringing the total raised this year to over £400. With a year of lessons costing £300 this means there is a surplus to go towards her exam fees and other costs. Certificates were presented and the winners of the composition competition performed their work along with noteflight accompaniment!

A selection of video clips from the concert are available to watch below. More may be added in due course…

Betina Nalugo.

Date of Birth: 5 December 2000

Local School: Kampala Quality Primary School

Level: Primary 5

She loves music, drama and very much the violin.

“She has played the violin for over a year but began with her current teacher Frances Attwood in September this last year. She is currently about Preparatory Test level of the ABRSM.”

“All sweet words for your sponsorship and she promised to work hard possibly even to ABRSM grade 1.”

The concert went very nicely on Saturday raising a healthy sum for CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA. If you didn’t get a chance to make a donation then it is still possible to do so online and add to the total. Clicking on the banner to the left of the website will take you straight to the on-line donation page.

Five students were presented with certificates for recent ABRSM exam successes and Alice received the piano points cup which she gets to keep until the next concert. As I mentioned at the concert, the piano points results for this term will be published on Sunday 20th December.
