As part of the scholarship, four hours per week of tuition were given to the students, as well as lessons which were part of their curriculum and also a mentor.

Having now completed their scholarship, the students joined once again at the City Hall on Wednesday 1st July to perform an accredited piece to celebrate their accomplishment.

The piece 'Get up On your feet' was composed by Danyal Dhondy, and was performed in front of family & friends.

Also Julian Bliss who is a notable young clarinettist took part in the performance, later giving a speech.
