MUSIC

I started the Piano when I was 6 Years old, I started learning the Piano at Shrubbery with my teacher Mrs Hall when I was in Year 3. Although I don't go to Shrubbery anymore, I still learn the Piano with the same teacher but I learn in her house, where she has her own Piano for me to play on. 

Now, being in Year 7, I am on Grade 3 but I am going to do my grade 4 in November. Whenever you take an exam, you play 3 pieces, LOTS of scales and Oral Tests.  I love the Piano and it is probably my favorite instrument. I often play a piano piece for any concerts school arrange.

When I am free, I love playing pieces on the piano by ear, for example I have learnt to play  'Silent Night' and 'Someone I Love' on the piano by ear. I love playing on the piano in our church St. Michaels Boldmere after the service is over and there aren't many people left.

I started learning the French Horn in West House with my teacher, Mrs Butler in year 4 and I really enjoyed it. West House used to have lots of concerts and I would sometimes play the French Horn in them. I was in Brass Band which was also run by Mrs Butler. I am currently on Grade 3 on French Horn and I now play in King Edward's School in their Windband, which is not run by Mrs Butler it is run by Mr Dutch. However, Mrs Butler also teaches in King Edward's School so I still learn with her.
