Iryna is a 16-year-old pianist who has shown exceptional dedication and commitment to her musical development.

She has recently been offered a place on the prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama Junior Programme—an opportunity that could shape her future.

Since arriving in the UK, Iryna has embraced every opportunity available to her and has made outstanding progress in music.

Her achievements include:

* Grade 8 Piano – Distinction (2025)

* Completion of her Ukrainian Music School qualification (remotely) – Distinction

* Winner of the EPTA Piano Competition (Norfolk) twice

* Winner of the Rotary Young Musician Award (King’s Lynn)

* Performances at Holkham Hall’s Candlelight Tours

* Participation in concerts, competitions, and an international music tour

She is currently working towards her ATCL Piano Diploma.

Iryna’s place on the Guildhall Junior Programme requires her to travel to London every Saturday during term time, where she will receive advanced musical training and take part in high-level performance opportunities.

However, the cost of this opportunity is significant:

* Tuition: approximately £4,400 per year

* Weekly travel: approximately £1,200+

* Additional London travel: approximately £200

Total: around £5,700–£5,800 per year

While her family are fully supportive, the financial commitment presents a significant challenge.

We are raising funds to help Iryna access this opportunity and continue her musical development.

Any support—no matter how small—would make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for any support you are able to give.
