Dear Parents, Students and Guardians,
I have so much good news to share with you. First, we have our concert on the 4th of November. The schedule is moved a week later from the original 28th of October. That gives our students one more week to master their concert piece. It’s the week of the Halloween! Yes so to go with the time, we have decided to have a theme -Halloween- with participants requested to come in Halloween costume. We have done this years ago and it was fun! A prize for “Best in Costume” will be awarded to a deserving participant in each concert. The venue has not changed; it is at the Auckland Taiwanese Presbyterian Church along 158 Pakuranga Road. The first concert will now start at 2:00 PM and the second concert will be at 3:15 PM. You may submit the time you wish your child to perform at before the end of this term and it will be posted on the bulletin board at the start of Term 4. Please take the time to check it.
As this is the annual concert, we would like to request the students to dress up properly for the occasion if you do not wish to come in costume. Details such as the ticket sales and cost will be sent to you through Term 4’s Letter to Parents.
Now to the best news, we are proud and happy to announce that all the students who sat for the ABRSM Theory and Performance exams from December to August received a Distinction mark for their hard work. A few did the theory and performance exams within the same period and got the same mark. They are:
Erin Kernot Luke Carlyle Dhrov Sinha
Alyssa Nugraha Neil Mathew Veeyia Naidoo
Daniel Zhou Melissa Wong Kelly Tang
Annelise Nugraha
Students who do exams become aware of musical details they learn through the preparation and conscious of the level of perfection needed for a better performance. Not to mention the discipline and patience developed as they go along. But as I always say, there is more to music than doing exams every year. Fun in making music is one other important aspect in learning.
Meantime, please follow up your child/ children’s practice most especially during the holiday break as we will only have 4 lessons at the start of Term 4 before the concert.
Thank you as always for your support.
Kind regards
