"A fantastic piece called London Town Blues composed by our saxophone teacher Rachael Forsyth. Rachael is very skilful at creating great sounding compositions for ensembles of children which maximise their abilities. Many of the children in the ensemble are only beginners, yet they were able to join in with a polished, professional performance." E.P. - Assistant Head

Testimonials:
"Rachael Forsyth has arranged a beautiful piece of music for me... It is perfectly suited for my instrument and ability. I feel therefore she has captured the essence of something which was previously inaccessible to me. She has done this with enthusiasm and great dedication. Thank you!" A.U
"I have been a pupil of Rachael's for the last three years, finally
realising my childhood dream of learning to play the piano. Rachael
wrote me a piece of piano music - Andante Tattoo - as a gift for my
30th birthday last year to celebrate me having my very first tattoo!
In
the piece, Rachael has captured exactly the type of music I enjoy
playing. The key signature, the tone, the articulation - the whole
arrangement reflects the styles I have grown to love throughout my
lessons with Rachael. I have worked with Rachael to develop the
dynamics for this piece and this has really helped me develop as a
musician.
I was so touched that this piece has been written with me in mind. It is very special and I love playing it." M. P. - Pianist
