Millfield Musician

of the Year

With the focus on opportunity for all standards
Music
of musical performance, Millfield Musician of
the Year provided a platform for all students
to gain competition experience regardless of
their age or performance level. The final of the
2019 Millfield Musician of the Year brought
together the senior category winners from
over 140 entries (a 40% increase from 2018),
19.5 hours of performances during lunch and
evening sessions over six days. The process was
gruelling yet necessary in highlighting the talent,
ambition and individuality of our performers.
Not only are we developing great musicians at
Millfield School but we are also developing the
transferable skills in these individuals that such
a competition promotes. These students will not
only be better off musically for the experience
but will benefit in other areas of their lives from
the cross-curricular and transferable skills they
have developed on the way. Congratulations to
all who took part in our 2019 competition.
