And the Results are In...
Well I can safely say that we have survived our insane performance week for Term Two! It has been a little stressful, but definitely worth it all in the end. I believe that performances are about three things: feedback from adjudicators & audiences, experience of performing and being confident enough with your craft, but above all having fun. I am so proud and grateful for such wonderful students who worked so hard to perform at their personal best, and I can say I couldn't be happier with the results:
Ipswich Show 2017:
This year I had two of my vocal students compete as part of the Young Talent on Show at
the Ipswich Show between the 18-20th May. This was such a big night, beginning at 4:30pm and finishing at 10:00pm. Congratulations to Ava and Kelsey in the following items: > 9-11yrs Classical Solo: Ava- 2nd place, Kelsey- 1st place

Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod 2017:
The Ipswich Junior Eisteddfod for many of my students competing this year has been their first public performance EVER! On top of this, nearly every student entered placed in their sections. This is an enormous feet, especially when sometimes against nearly twenty other children! Again, one very happy teacher. We had the following results at the eisteddfod:

North Ipswich Uniting Church Concert:
I received an email a couple of weeks ago asking if any of my students would be interested in performing at a concert for the North Ipswich Uniting Church. After sharing this opportunity with my studio, I had six wonderful students put their names forward, and have been working hard to create a great performance for the community. Congratulations to Ava, Kelsey, Verity, Quinn, April & Tommy for such lovely performances. I had some lovely reviews from the audience members.
Now we begin preparations for our upcoming AMEB exams and of course our next set of competitions later in the year. Again, congratulations to everyone who performed this week!
