RSD had the privilege of having Ulster Orchestra violinist, Danny McCann-Williams in school recently. Danny provided a masterclass for Napier Prize winner, Jeffrey Yau (Year 13), for excellence in strings performance. This hour-long lesson allowed Jeffrey to work on his violin technique as well as expressive interpretation of repertoire for his upcoming Grade 7 examination. Members of Royal Strings had the opportunity to also observe the masterclass and pick up some tips for the development of their own performance skills. Once again, we are indebted to former teacher, Mrs M. Napier for providing pupils with this experience.
