Tuesday 13th May saw us visit Ysgol Sant Elfod in Abergele, Ysgol Tan y Marian in Old Colwyn, Ysgol Glan Conwy and Ysgol Tudno in Llandudno. 305 children enjoyed the 35 minute interactive presentation by Yamaha.

Here at YMS Llandudno we have just had a triple whammy of success!
Firstly we have had fifteen of our guitar students pass their grade 1 rockschool exam, that’s a 100% pass rate! overall there were 7 distinctions, 6 merits and 2 passes. Our Rockschool examinor, Jeremy Ward, had this to say of our students, “[he] was very impressed with the overall level and playing ability of the students”. This is also a great credit to our guitar tutor Carl Foulkes Jones.
Secondly our five youngest students have passed their exam for the Junior Play For Keeps course, and have now moved on to Play For Keeps Book 1.
Finally our Play For Keeps students have been progressing well and we have one student who has passed Book 2 with distinction, and two students who have passed Grade 4 - one with distinction and the other student with a merit!
Well done everybody!
