East Ayrshire Young Musician Final

Congratulations go to two of our Advanced Higher music pupil’s Aimee Sharp and Rhys Hamilton who participated in the East Ayrshire Young Musician 2024 final last night.

Rhys performed his own composition ‘Grave’ on piano, whilst Aimee sang ‘Still Hurting’ from the musical film The Last Five Years. Both performed extremely confidently and were a credit to the school.

Aimee won the final and will now progress to the national final of the Scottish Young Musician of the Year competition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in a few weeks time. Congratulations Aimee and good luck!
