On Saturday 7 February, 52 pupils from Prep and Senior School took part in the Gresham’s Annual Piano Festival.

As an All-Steinway school, the festival reflects the strength and integrity of our piano programme, delivered and developed by Heidi Shinn, Head of Keyboard Studies.

The event brought together musicians of all abilities, from beginners to accomplished Grade 8 performers. Each pupil performed a solo piece before a supportive audience and a panel of expert adjudicators.

The adjudicators offered individual feedback designed to encourage, inspire and guide each performer on their musical journey. For many pupils, the festival provided a valuable opportunity to gain performance experience, build confidence and share their progress with peers, teachers and family members.
