Hi everyone,

Results are through & I`ve PASSED my grade 5 theory exam!!

So a huge thank you to all of you who`ve had faith in me & sponsered me before you knew the results!

I `ve also been busy competing at the National Urdd Eisteddfod where I won the string solo 12-15 years competition.You can see the live T.V. coverage of the event by clicking below;

Heres why I am raising money for N.C.O...

I was ecstatic when I was accepted to play violin in the N.C.O  main  orchestra this year & was very grateful to them when I received a bursary from them towards my fees.Without these bursaries the orchestra would not be open to anyone purely on the basis of musianship,regardless of financial means.The N.C.O. receives no government funding.This year is the N.C.O`s 30th anniversary & all the members are trying to raise as much funding as possible to ensure this orchestra stays alive for future generations of young musicians.

Please look at N.C.O`s website where you can see photos,hear about our upcoming Italien tour & get the dates & venues of where we`ll be performing & learn more about the Orchestra.If you`re able to maybe you`d like to come to one of the concerts.

The website is: www.nco.org.uk

If you would like to sponsor me it is easy to do it here online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support. Isabella xx
