TrinityTalent | Class of 2021 | Youth Choice Panel

TrinityTalent celebrates young artists who have developed their practice through Trinity College London qualifications in 2021. Meet the Class of 2021. An open nominations process invited teachers, peers, friends and family to propose young people taking Trinity qualifications who had shown excellence in Creative Flair,  Leadership or Progress. 

The nominations were reviewed by the TrinityTalent panel and Youth Choice panel. Young people from each qualification were selected to be profiled on Voice and make up the TrinityTalent | Class of 2021. 

A ‘Youth Choice’ was chosen from each subject: Arts Award, Classical & Jazz, Drama and Rock & Pop, based on a range of achievements, experiences and personal progression. The Youth Choice panel were impressed by the quality of nominations received which showed a wide breadth of skills and personal development.

Find out more about the young people involved in the Youth Choice Panel in the gallery below.

"The most important thing about leaning music is to enjoy the process of learning, not just the results. So, practice hard and do the best you can, but make sure you are having fun whilst doing it! Also, try things that are outside of your comfort zone and you may just find new passions for things that stay with you forever 🙂"

"The most important thing when creating art of any kind is to have fun. Enjoying what you are doing will motivate you to practise and improve. However, to find your passion for an art form you first have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. Producing anything for the first time always feels daunting and it is often difficult to have the confidence to start the practice of a new skill. But if you can be brave enough to begin you might just discover something incredible in yourself. And remember, everyone learns at a different rate, and art is very subjective, don’t compare yourself to others. Enjoy your creativity and practise, practise, practise!"

"My advice for young people taking a Trinity exam is make sure you practice until you feel like you are really fluent with your pieces. Break down your piece into the bits you find easy and the parts you find more challenging and really practice and focus on the challenging parts."

"Enjoy what you do!! Trinity is all about fun and creative side of music, so throw yourself into that. Don’t just do what you have to; experiment and try different things, find the thing that you love. As long as you practise hard, and love what you do, you’re bound to succeed."

 "My advice for anyone taking a Trinity qualification is to be yourself, as that will allow your unique talent to shine through your art."
