So proud of the students who all passed their ABRSM piano exams!

The little boy and girl doing grade 5 were only eight and nine years old! It's Not Too Late... In 2019, there were a couple of students who made a great comeback in piano after having been unsuccessful in their grades 5 and 8 exams with previous teachers.

Don't you love turnaround cases? What a great job done! 2018 Diploma Exam Results It was a good year for diploma students.
