Yesterday, a string quintet - Jordan (violin I), Kenzie (violin II), Anna (violin III), Hari (cello), and Shachelle (double bass) accompanied by Kai (piano) represented WAYS at the Royal Schools Music Club's Celebrating Young Musicians event.

It was a wonderful afternoon showcasing the dedication, passion, and musical talent of these young performers. Congratulations to all the musicians who took part and made the event such a success!

A big thank you to the Royal Schools Music Club for providing this fantastic opportunity to celebrate and encourage the next generation of musicians. 🎻🎹🌟

Well, that’s a wrap for Term 2, and my time as conductor of WAYS!
Thank you all for making my last weeks so special and memorable. I have absolutely loved chatting with you all, hearing how much WAYS has helped your children develop not only as musicians but as people , gaining so much more confidence and a new love for music - this for me is the greatest thing I could ever wish for as their teacher 🥰
After 16 years with our special community, today was such a joyful (and a tad emotional!) experience saying goodbye. I will cherish all those special hugs, homemade cards and kind words.
Thanks so much everyone
Sarah 💚

I am thrilled to announce that WAYS will recommence in Term 3 with the amazing Hannah Herriman 🤩
I look forward to seeing WAYS continue to flourish under her guidance 🎻 🎵

Here is what a few parents had to say about their child's time in WAYS, as they leave WAYS stepping on up into WAYO (and I couldn't be happier and more proud of them!!) 🤩👏👏👏

"I can't tell you how much Rose's time in WAYS has meant to her and us... Sarah, you completely took her under your wing-she has absolutely loved playing under your guidance".

"Your generosity and unwavering support have meant more to us than words can express... your kindness and willingness to share your musical insights made a real difference".

"It has been an honour for our family to be part of WAYS and to be among such wonderful musicians and friends. This experience will always be cherished".

"It has been such a wonderful experience being part of the WAYS community the last few years... All 3 of my girls have thrived and have many fond memories. We will miss you al!"

"A heartfelt thanks for the past 2 years. Your guidance and shared passion for music have meant the world to him. Being part of this ensemble has helped him grow not only as a musician but as a person, and for that, we are deeply grateful... He'll carry this experience with him always".
