Emily writes: “I was honoured to be one of the recipients of the Barrier Reef Orchestra Encouragement Award last year, it came as a big surprise! This past year I have spent the total amount of the award on a variety of musical equipment. These include an instrument microphone and cable for use at church, as I play in the band, along with a Viola stand. I also purchased some Viola music and rosin; as well as a Cello, which I have started teaching myself.
