Guitarists hit the right note

 

BU4 was packed with proud parents as our young guitar students showed how far their playing has developed over the past twelve months. Even though for some it was their first public performance, there was no hint of nerves as they took their turn on the stage.

Many of the tunes were familiar, covering a range of musical styles, from acoustic, to finger picking, through jazz to rock. Some performed in groups of two or three, others entertained with solo pieces. Our young Year 7 to 10 students delighted the audience with their enthusiasm and confidence. The mini-concert concluded with all the guitarists on stage together performing a group piece.

The performance included:

Sohee Kwon, Georgia Cuer, Tiana McNamee – Medley: Somebody be That I Used To Know/What About Us/Havana

Teresa Croker, Vaelei Young – Girls Like You
