MUSIC students from Shebbear College are clearly hitting the right note, as the college celebrated a 100% pass rate in recent music exams.

Music students recently took part in their Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) instrumental exams.

From pianists to flautists, saxophonists to trumpeters, the players achieved a 100% pass rate with more than half gaining merits or distinctions from grades 1 to 8.

Issac Allsop, Angus Crookes, Ellerker Singleton and Robert Temple all achieved distinctions, and merits were achieved by Heather Mathews, Judina McCluskey, Benjamin Parker, Olivia Rolls and Tara Twomey.

Oscar Baker, Lois Luk, Abby Selwyn and Joey Yeung all passed their examinations.

The entrance examination for the college will take place on Monday, January 28, with auditions for music, art, sport and drama scholarships taking place later the same week.
