Alumna and class of 1968, Juliet Lawson, gave a fascinating music workshop to GCSE pupils at FHS

It was a pleasure to welcome alumna Juliet Lawson (class of 1968) back to Francis Holland to lead a music workshop for our Year 10 and 11 music students. As a professional musician, Juliet spent the afternoon listening to the girls’ work and giving constructive and positive feedback on their compositions. She was also able to play a number of her own songs to the girls to demonstrate how different ideas and events have inspired her creative process. The girls were interested to see some of her handwritten scores and hear about how the music industry has changed so much since her early days as a musician. Juliet is currently in the process of making a documentary and we look forward to seeing the final version!
