BRAVA to Choral-Hull's Children's Choir for their heartfelt, confident performance of my THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD at the memorial service for John Prescott at Hull Minster yesterday. Honoured that it was chosen & very touched by the dedication of the young singers 👏

This week #HullMusicService #AlbemarleMusicCentre ran two days of internal assessments We provide the equivalent to Grades 1-3.
27 young musicians gained exam experience (and a proper certificate!) for just £10. The sector needs to make progress more affordable. #puttingmusicattheheartofhull
