Young musician is on song with trombone prize

Young trombonist Daisy Hogan (pictured) hit all the right notes at the Rotary Club Young Musician of the Year competition, where she won the award for Most Promising Instrumentalist.

Nine-year-old Daisy, a pupil at top independent school Burgess Hill Girls, won the judges’ vote with her performance of trombone classic The Parson’s Nose.

Daisy was one of a number of young musicians from Girls who took part in the competition.

Burgess Hill Girls Head Liz Laybourn said: ‘This win by Daisy reflects the importance we attach to girls’ creative endeavours in, and beyond, the classroom. She is an exceptionally talented trombonist, and I feel sure she’ll go far in music.’
