KEY TO SUCCESS

KEY TO SUCCESS: Li Kit-man (left), George Young Sheung-chi and Audrey Tan Joey-yi prove the value of practice when it comes to playing the piano. Joey-yi, 11, said she began learning to play at the age of four. She is due to sit the Associated Board Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) Grade Six exam at the end of this year.

'I consider passing the exam proof I have attained a certain standard,' she said. Ms Li, 19, passed ABRSM Grade Eight five years ago. Last week, she sat a diploma exam in recital offered by Trinity College in London. Sheung-chi, 11, said he would sit the Grade Four exam soon.
