Two local students have got the seal of approval from The London Victoria College of Music.

Bronwyn Egan from Kilbeggan, and Tullamore's Chloe Gill, both students of piano at The Academy of Music have both taken these different times to their advantage and worked hard, in the knowledge that the culmination of their years of graded examinations were coming to their climax of performing in their London Diploma examinations.

The Academy of Music is an exam centre for many examining bodies, mainly The Royal Irish Academy of Music, and the school isesolute that these strange times would not impede these extremely important diploma examinations. Last month The London Victoria College of Music examined Chloe and Bronwyn via a series of online performance exams and follow up interviews.

Chloe Gill A.V.C.M.(T.D.) Hons” (17) was awarded an Honours Associate Diploma in Piano Teaching and Bronwyn Egan DIP.V.C.M(Perf) Hons (aged 18) was awarded an Honours Diploma in Piano Performance.

Staff and Students of The Academy are very proud of Bronwyn and Chloe for their achievements and in particular on their accomplishing diploma qualifications and post-nominal initials as school students, before pursuing their college careers.
