August

Always a quiet month for us but lessons still continue for those not jetting away to foreign places. Please be sure to call and bok your spaces.

July

The Summer Garden party was a huge success. We'd like to offer a special thanks to The Royal Oak for providing us with such a special venue. The quality of playing was, as ever, exceptional and we had a large number of sutdent's making their public performance debuts.

This month saw a change in venue for those taking ABRSM examinations. We were sruprised by the lack of warm up facilities at the new venue but it didn;t seem to phase our students any. Now it's just the wait for results.

June

Due to illness we have had to pospone the summer concert this year. But, instead we will be offering something completely new - our first Summer Garden Party  which will be held on Sunday 21st June, 2pm at The Royal Oak in Goodworth Clatford. If you would like to perform please let us know your piece,composer and approximate number of guests by Friday 5th July. You can join the Facebook event here.

ABRSM exams will be taking place on Thursday 27th June. Good luck to Hannah, Max, Eleanor, Kiki and Olivia.

As we get to the end of the school year please keep in mind that Storm Dynamics carries on teaching throughout the summer. If you would like lessons over the summer holidays we can be more flexible with times and dates.

May

May is usually a quiet time for us - unless you're getting ready for a music exam that is. The deadline for entry is 10th May and we can usually expect the dates to be publish 2 weeks later.

Our summer concert this year will be on Saturday June 15th at the Goodwoth Clatford Village Club in Goodworth Clatford. If you'd like to perform then please say so during your lesson. Official entry forms will be given out at the end of the month.

April

Happy Easter! Storm Dynamics remains open, though do make sure you confirm your lesson time.

Congratulations to Angus Mills for achieving a Merit for his Grade One piano exam. Congratulations also to former student Peter Thomson for achieving a Merit for his Grade One Trumpet exam. Peter started with Storm Dynamics as a recorder student but decided to go on to somthing a lot noisier! We couldn;t be more pleased for him.

Andover Rocks was a huge success this year and raised £2435. We played our part busking for an hour in the Time Ring in the centre of town. Francesca, Tom, Bill, Max, Neive, Amy, Max, Hannah and Eleanor really did themselves proud.

March

It may be the shortest school term of the year but we still have plenty going on before Easter.

ABRSM exams have been confirmed as Thursday 21st of March. You individual times will be given to you in your lessons.

We still have space available if you would like to be a part of Andover Rocks. The event offers a rare chance to perform in the centre of Andover and help raise money for local good causes.

Lessons will be contining over the Easter Holidays for those that want them. Please make arrangements in your lesson.

The school spring half term will run from Monday 18th to Sunday 24th Feb. Lessons are still available but, due to show comittments, evening lessons will need to be rearranged.
