Year 9 student Ciaran Carroll recently gained Distinction in his Grade 8 piano ABRSM examination with a mark of 140/150. The ABRSM is the examination board of the Royal Schools of Music who deliver internationally recognised music qualifications throughout the world. Achieving at this level is a phenomenal achievement for a Year 9 student and the next step for Ciaran is an Advanced Certificate, which potentially leads towards a degree in music.
As well as the piano Ciaran also plays the clarinet and trumpet. This year he has been a member of the Junior Concert Band and in 2017 has been selected into the Senior Concert Band and the elite Stage Band – the highest performing group at Palmerston North Boys’ High School. Well done Ciaran, we look forward to following your music career.
