Trumpeter Tom

St Luke’s Formby pupil, 9-year-old Tom Kearley, has been celebrating an award from the organisation ‘Awards for Young Musicians’.
He received a Robert Lewin Scholarship award which will help towards buying a new Bb trumpet.
Tom and his twin brother Rob both play in the school band led by peripatetic music teacher, Mrs Joan Fogg.
The school’s music and arts co-ordinator, Mrs Jennie Harper said: “Both Tom and Rob are very talented and dedicated musicians, attending band practise every week as well as having individual lessons. The band members were really pleased to hear that Tom had been successful in winning his award.
“Our band were invited to play with the Halle Orchestra in Manchester and we’re all very excited to have this wonderful opportunity to work with such a famous orchestra.”
