It’s that time of year again, and yesterday a cohort of singers from SHSK represented the school at the Oxford Festival.  SHSK singers won every vocal class (not a mean feat!), and I was especially pleased for all my students who performed so well. Congratulations to Giulia A, Claudia H, Charlotte H, Ella J, Sarah L, Eliza R, Jasmine S and Alice T who performed in the solo classes. Particular congratulations are due to the following girls for placing in at least one class: Giulia A, Charlotte H, Sarah L, Eliza R, Jasmine S and Alice T! The choirs also did a fantastic job across the board, and once again Chapel Choir took home the prize on the day (4th year running!). Bar 61 and Chanteuses, my small ensemble choirs did extremely well and I was so proud of the way they performed with such confidence, leading and directing themselves.  What a superb group of students!  Full results can be found here.

NB: Update! Congratulations to Jasmine S who won the Headington Cup for best Folk Song performance in the Festival. 

Congratulations to Giulia A, who has been awarded a place in the National Youth Girls’ Choir for this coming year. This is such a fantastic achievement, as competition for places in the choir is really high. Well done, Giulia!

Once again, it’s great news for my students as the ABRSM exam results for this term have been received.  All five girls gained Distinction marks, with Alice T achieving the highest mark of the exam session with 141 out of a possible 150 marks. Another special mention goes to Ella F who achieved this highest grade in her final Grade 8 exam. Fabulous news all round; well done girls!

The eagerly awaited casting for this year’s production of My Fair Lady has been announced, and I’m delighted to congratulate the following girls for their roles: Ella F (Ensemble), Olivia H (Ensemble) Millie H (Eliza Doolittle), Caitlin S (Ensemble), Jasmine S (Ensemble), Alice T (Mrs Higgins).  I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished show in early February!

Congratulations to the following girls who have successfully auditioned for a place in Chapel Choir this year: Giulia A and Caitlin S, who join current members: Ella F, Claudia H, Lottie H, Millie H, Ella J, Sarah L, Jasmine S and Alice T. The following girls have also retained their places in Bar 61 for this academic year: Claudia H, Lottie H and Jasmine S. Auditions are still ongoing for this year’s production, and for the new year 8 vocal ensemble!

Another brilliant set of exam results have arrived, with all pupils achieving marks to be proud of! Congratulations to Arabella, Olivia, Millie, Ella, Maddy, Eliza, and Caitlin who all took their exams this session.  Particular congratulations to Millie who achieved the highest mark in the whole exam session with 143 out of a possible 150 marks!
