Earlier this term, Year 10's Lizzie Hughes, sat her Grade 5 cello exam. We are delighted to share the news that not only did Lizzie pass but she achieved a fantastic distinction - the highest mark possible!
The examiner commented that Lizzie's tone was very clear and mature throughout her performance as well her dynamic being vivid and phrasing 'shaped musically'. Her playing was also described as characterful and musical.
Lizzie is an accomplished musician who works very hard playing in the youth folk band Cream Tees as well as Durham County Youth Orchestra and Darlington Orchestra.
Lizzie enjoys her lessons in school with Ms Diment as part of our Durham Music Service Provision. Well done Lizzie - we are all so proud of you!
