Orchestra member Claire has just achieved something she set out to do all those years ago when she first started lessons as a teenager with her teacher, Harry.

Through house moves, life changes, and everything in between, she never gave up — and that determination has paid off with her incredible Grade 8 achievement.

We couldn’t be prouder. Huge congratulations, Claire — you did it! 🎉

Next step, Recital Diploma 😎
