It’s a piano medley for the first Tea-Time Concert of 2022

This week our Tea-Time Concert featured performances from some of Hallfield School’s fantastic pianists. Some as young as 6 and 7 years old embraced the opportunity to take centre stage and perform solos in front of a live audience in the Prep Hall. Parents, staff and pupils were very proud of all the children that took part.

Hallfield’s Director of Music, Pip Jopling said: “The calibre of our musicians is improving year on year and we now have a number of pupils who play an instrument or sing to a grade 7 standard. This was certainly evident in the concert. This was a lovely opportunity to hear our pupils play and for them to have the opportunity to play our beautiful Kemble grand piano.”
