Following several months of intense training, 11 young musicians have graduated from the National School of Music, having recorded a 100 percent pass rate and 91 percent distinction after having sat the London Royal School Examination.
Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr Frank Anthony, was very elated upon hearing the results and committed to developing the school, as he wants Guyana’s musical talents to be heard internationally.
This National School of Music was opened in November 2011 and formal classes started on March 5, 2012.
Mr. Anthony emphasised the ministry’s willingness to improve the music school by bringing in more teachers, both local and from overseas.
He added that some Japanese musicians will join the school for a six- month period.
The top students of this first batch are: Jamal Johnson, Grade One, who achieved 98% and Tenecia De Freitas who achieved 92%. At Grade Two, Galecia Edwards, achieved 98% and was judged the Best overall performer.
