Cayden has recently completed his Grade 4 piano exam, passing with Honours ( receiving an A!) Cayden has shown consistent hard work over the years and continues to reap the rewards of all that practice.
He received near perfect results in his scales and sight reading, and his general knowledge showed good preparation.
He presented a programme full of Bach, all of which received high praise.
His Prelude was played "musically with a good tone, and clarity of finger work," and his "melodic contours were clearly shaped with a clear sense of direction".
Particular note was given to his accuracy, fluency, and awareness of expressive shaping in his Jesus bleibet meine Freunde, as well as his "carefully controlled tonal production", "well aligned hands" and "dynamic shading" which laid the groundwork for "a well polished performance of his Gavotte.
Overall it was remarked that he demonstrates confidence and plays with much musicality.
Many thanks must also go to his marvellous teacher Emily, who has guided him through many exams to date.
Congratulations Cayden and best of luck for the next one!
