A Memorable Music Recital

Last Thursday, the Music Keys Programme students (in Year 4 and Year 5) presented a lovely music recital, showcasing all their hard work over the past year. There were solos, duets and even mini ensembles, displaying their talent on the piano, guitar, violin and recorder. The Music Mentors from Secondary were also able to show their support and watch their students perform. They were able to see how their effort every morning has helped the Year 4 and Year 5 students get to where they are today. The Music Department is proud of everyone involved in the Music Keys Programme and are excited to have incoming Year 4 students join the programme next academic year!
