According to teacher RT, the Head of Dept for Keyboard and for Strings from Trinity College of Music will be coming to Penang sometime in March or April next year and he wants me to prepare for both the piano and cello performances. RT indicated the possibility of a year at Trinity upon special recommendation by the Head of Dept.

Email from P Holmes, International Advisor of Trinity : I would be interested to know whether your son's grades are Trinity Guildhall or ABRSM, although it makes no difference as regards his application to us. We usually expect Grade 8 with distinction as a minimum requirement and clearly has that, assuming that he will make piano his principal study.
