●
TALENTED music students from Cronton Sixth Form College have secured places at two of the nation’s top music conservatoires.
Jennie Worrall and Sonny Fielding, who both study A-level music, beat the competition as they proved their skills in their auditions.
Jennie has been offered a place in The Royal Northern College Of Music and The Birmingham Conservatoire plus a £3,000 scholarship.
Performing arts scholar Sonny has been offered an £8,000 scholarship at The Royal Conservatoire Of Scotland, which was recently ranked in the top three places for performing arts education in the world.
In September the two students will begin the next stage of the journey in their promising music careers when they start their degree courses alongside some of the bestup-and-coming musicians in the country.
Jennie, who has played the tenor horn for the past 10 years, said: “I have decided to go to The Royal Northern College Of Music as it is one of the best colleges in the country.
“You really have to be one of the best and have an extremely good audition to be offered a place.
“I am very excited and proud to have achieved this fantastic opportunity.”
Sonny, who has ambitions of becoming a professional opera singer, said: “When I heard the news about my scholarship at one of the top music conservatoires in the world it felt incredible.
“I had a feeling of accomplishment as I have been working towards this goal for a very long time.”
