From Ms Hunter 🎻
I want to wish this absolute super star of a violin pupil all my very best wishes for her new chapter, exciting travel plans and on gaining her place at university.
We had our last lesson today 😭
From fond memories of the wee 7 year old in her shorts and pigtails to the amazingly capable young woman she has become. Always a team player and a brilliant inspiration to the younger players that she mentored each week, we loved having you at orchestra.
I'm so proud of you E, reach for the stars, have your adventures and keep on playing 🌟 🎻
