GRADE 11 pianist Qden Blaauw claimed the top spot in the prestigious international Yamaha Scholarship programme, walking away with a cash prize to help further his studies.
The piano prodigy and pupil at the Shane Goodall Piano Studio and Reddam House Durbanville received $1 000 (R14 000) after participating in the programme which this year focused on the piano as the instrument category of choice.
Qden started playing the piano at just 8 years old, when after hearing other pianists play he decided to “give it a try”.
He then joined Reddam House in Grade 8 on a part scholarship, awarded to him in line with the school’s philosophy to nurture arts and culture talent in their students.
