Spring Exam Results: Trinity College of Music

Trinity Music ExamsWe entered our first group of students for Trinity College London Music exams this March after having used the same exam board for nearly 25 years. The choice of repertoire was well-received by our students and the contemporary repertoire is particularly appealing. Our students enjoyed the different format for aural tests and musical knowledge section that allow them to demonstrate their understanding of their pieces through questions asked by the examiner. All of our students left the exam full of beans and feeling very confident that they had played well so it was a hugely positive experience. The examiner was very friendly and his feedback was very clear and concise, plus each student received lovely encouraging comments too. 

Trinity results:
Distinction: Oliver (G3); Sophia, Elliot, Edward, Susannah, Sam, Freddie (Initial)
Merit: Rowan (G6)
