Wow that’s a lot! Well done!!x
Well done Ayesha. Three grade 8 distinctions, age 12. Ayesha is currently studying GCSE Music with me, so roll on a Grade 9 in Music to add to the collection:)“Her lovely Benslow violin and viola have really helped her move forward with her playing.” - Ayesha’s Dad
Ayesha has some brilliant news!🤩
At just 12 years old, she has achieved a distinction in Grade 8 Violin, adding to the Grade 8 Distinctions in Viola and Piano she earned in the previous two exam sessions. This year, she is performing with both the National Children’s Orchestra Under 13s and the National Scouts and Guides Symphony Orchestra. 🎻
Congratulations Ayesha!! 🎶👏
