I have been learning my guitar through lessons at The Abbey since I was in Upper Prep (Year 2).

I regularly take part in guitar ensembles at School and recently successfully auditioned and joined the London Camerata National Youth Guitar Ensemble (NYGE). My first session with the group was last weekend and I was very excited to travel to London to join similar standard guitarists from across the country for a whole day playing a wide variety of challenging pieces.

The NYGE meets once a month and there will be a residential at Easter followed by an exciting tour to Granada, Spain in the summer. Next year, the NYGE will be looking forward to attending the World Youth Guitar Festival where there will be young guitarists from all across the world. I am really pleased to have joined this new group and look forward to the opportunities it will offer now and in the future.
