Distinction for Miranda in her ARSM Clarinet Diploma

Congratulations to Upper Sixth Pupil, Miranda, who achieved a Distinction in her ARSM Clarinet Diploma examination last week.

ARSM is a performance-focused diploma for learners beyond Grade 8 level. Working towards an ARSM provides motivation, structure and feedback for developing musicians, and successful candidates can use the letters ARSM after their name. At St Peter's, we have had 24 ARSM Diploma successes in the past six years since its introduction by ABRSM; results that have been made possible thanks to our committed, enthusiastic and talented Music department. 

Miranda has attended St Peter's School for 11 years and Tim Bayley (pictured) has been her Clarinet teacher since she was 7! Miranda was awarded a Music scholarship upon entering St Peter's 13-18, which she now holds alongside an academic scholarship. She is deputy Head Chorister in the school choirs, and also enjoys participating in lots of other musical groups such as the Girls' Barbershop, Clarinet Choir and Wind Band. She has been singing and playing the clarinet since she was 7 years old, having been a member of the National Children's Orchestra for 3 years before attending St Peter's 13-18. 

In her free time, Miranda loves to visit art galleries and attend orchestral concerts and operas. She is currently studying Maths, Physics and Art, and at University next year she hopes to study Aerospace Engineering.

Miranda is a true credit to St Peter's and we are extremely proud of all she has achieved thus far!
