The Island's young musicians and their teachers have won top-notch recognition.
The Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester is one of the UK's most prestigious music schools - and its 'top brass' are impressed at the number of highly talented students from the Island winning places.
Not only that - but Head of the Music Service Maggie Richardson has been offered a place on the advisory panel at the college Centre for Excellence in Teaching.
