Coleman achieved Grade 6 Piano with distinction in December.  To achieve this he had to play three complex pieces which included the 1st Movement of Sonatina in E flat.

 

Congratulations Coleman!

Luke was a winner at the Music & Drama Festival held at the Nottingham High Senior School recently.  He won the Under 9's Solo Piano playing his way through two pieces (The Bug Dance & Far Away). 

Coleman was another of our winners at the Nottingham Music and Drama Festival, winning the Lenton Cup for Under 12's piano.  This event pitched four people against each other, all playing  'Prelude and Fugue' by Alex Rowley.  As winner Coleman was then put forward into play in a final in which the winners from three classes played their pieces again which were then judged on merit.  Coleman was against judged the winner and as a result was handed the Sandell trophy for the second year running.  Coleman then added one more to his trophy cabinet by winning the 'Piano Duet' category with Kate Tang.  They played 'My Favourite Things' from the Sound of Music - judging by this festival one of Coleman's favourite things must be winning trophies!
