I must say the standard was high from all the students but it has shown that a little more maturity in some of the performers has shone through and given their performances a little more edge. I would offer some advice in that candidates make sure that the video they submit shows them in the best light, even if their performance is good, their backing band or accompanist might not be and that takes away from them.
