BSAK AT

ALEX TCHOBANOV HEAD OF PIANO

It has been a very exciting term for our Piano Department here in BSAK. I would like to congratulate Heidi Cheah for gaining the “Excellence Award’’ at the Hong Kong Performance and Talent Award Competition, where she competed with pianists f rom all over the world.

I would also like to congratulate William Hargreaves for making it through to the Second Round of the YMOG Competition in Bahrain.

He played beautifully throughout the whole event and showed talent and determination. We have also had a number of students doing a superb job in their remote ABRSM exams. Many congratulations to Nuoze Han (Distinction Grade 7), Mohammad Shote (Distinction Grade 2), Heidi Cheah (Merit Grade 8), Zaid Al Nasseri (Merit Grade 3), Zahraa Meah (Merit Grade 4), and Cadence Moore (Merit Grade 1).

In addition, I would like to congratulate our long time piano student Marwan Ali for his acceptance at the prestigious Brown University in the US, his piano video being part of the application. We will truly miss his dedication and brilliant performances at BSAK.

Congrats to all.
