In the spirit of education, the staff at BSKL have decided to learn a musical instrument and participate in the summer 2016 ABRSM exams.

Some of us are fortunate enough to have a musical background, some of us are doing this for the first time ever! 

However, as with any exam, it will require a lot of work, regular lessons, practise, and we all need something to motivate us to take the initiative to do this...

This is where you can help us.

We are raising money for a charity called helpharryhelpothers. You can find out more about this charity through the website http://hhho.org.uk.  

I urge you all to read about Harry's story (and I advise a box of tissues!) and what a truly inspirational young boy he was. Please give as little or as much as you can, this charity does amazing things for people, friends, family battling this terrible illness. Your donations Help Cure, Help Cope and Help Care. The more donations we receive, the more pressure there is for us to do well too!   

And don't fret!! The music staff do not have this easy, It has been decided that the music department must all learn a completely (brand new, nothing to do/related to any instrument they have learnt ever ever ever) instrument.
