Good luck to all CSM Students in their Exams 19th & 20th May 2012

As over 100 CSM students descend upon Hartstown Community College tomorrow to sit Royal Irish Acadmey of Music Theory Exams, we think it appropriate to wish them the very best of Irish luck in their written papers. We are delighted to report that the ages of these students sitting written exams range from 7 years old to 65 years young!! How's that!! And some of these students are making their First Holy Communion tomorrow and still insist on doing their exam come hell or high water. How's that now!!

The following day (Sunday 20th May), 110 CSM students will perform at their practical exams in a wide range of instruments including voice, music theatre, violin, flute, clarinet and piano. Three examiners from the RIAM will be examining them and we wish them lots of luck.
