A Song Room scholarship student shines at Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

David Grimaldos is an 11 year old autistic child who was discovered by The Song Room Teaching Artist, Chris Lewis, during his time at St Albans Meadows Primary School in 2010 to have ‘perfect pitch’. David had studied drums before, but during his time in The Song Room program had shown a keen interest in learning violin. His scholarship has allowed David to receive a high quality violin from Allans Music + Billy Hyde as well as receiving tutoring and workbooks from a local violin teacher in his area. In addition to this, David and his family were given the opportunity to attend the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performance ‘Ears Wide Open’ on 14^th June, 2011 and had the rare opportunity of meeting MSO conductor and acclaimed Australian composer, Richard Gill.
