Cara Paulse, a pupil of Frank Pietersen Music Centre, Paarl has once again been selected to take part in the Best Achievers competition.
Last year, Cara played her Unisa Grade 8 violin exam and was one of the top 10 candidates invited to Pretoria with her teacher Hadley Duminy to take part in the competition.
This time around, the La Rochelle Girls’ High matric pupil played her Unisa Grade 8 piano exam, and has once again been invited to Pretoria to take part in the same competition.
To be part of the Best Achievers’ for the second consecutive year, playing another instrument is a remarkable achievement.
Cara has been playing violin since the age of four. At age 11 she started playing the piano, and most notably at her age she can play Mozart’s Sonata in B Flat Major.
“There is a difference between being able to play something and playing it well,” says Cara.
She will study music at the University of Cape Town, and has auditioned for classical and jazz.
