Lucknow, 18 August: Two music teachers of City Montessori School, Suchendra Kumar Dubey and Namrata Dwivedi, cleared the ABRSM grade 3 Singing exam with Distinction. Suchendra and Namrata received online training for about a year by the CMS Western classical music trainers Mr Shamim Movahhed and Ms Jinous Yegan.

To secure Distinction in grade 3 Singing is a serious achievement. Suchendra and Namrata, each sang 4 western melodies from sheet music, ranging from those by 17th century composer Henry Purcell to more contemporary pieces, for example from Lionel Bart’s 1960’s musical ‘Oliver!’
