My Students; Destroying The Competition

Later on today I have a few of my students going in for their trumpet exams. I’m sure they’ll do very well as over the past few weeks they’ve been making me very proud.Last week my students played at the Worcestershire Competitive Arts Competition.

Four of my students entered and walked away with the top prize, two honors and a distinction. Baring in mind that some of the competition was a good 4 years (plus) older, that makes their achievement even more impressive.

Yesterday was there school competition where they proved their talent again with winning the Senior music prize, the Junior music prize, the brass prize and even my lad who’s been playing for a just over a year managed to play his way into 2nd place of the juniors!!

I’ll be interested to see how the recording from the concert my young jazz group (The Off-Beats) played for came out. Hopefully it’ll be of good enough quality to put the audio up on here for you to have a listen. There’s something very cool about 7-10 year olds playing Miles Davis!!
