Ashley Valentine spent five days teaching the piano to teenagers.
A British musician who travelled to Lviv to teach displaced Ukrainian teenagers at a summer school has praised their “determination” to learn despite “living and breathing” the ongoing war.
More than five kilograms worth of music books made up the majority of Mr Valentine’s luggage for the trip, which he bought from donations made to a Crowdfunding page he set up. Mr Valentine said the teenagers were “excited” to receive the books, which helped to bring to life their musical interests. The week ended with a concert Mr Valentine played as part of at the Lviv Organ Hall, which was attended by all his students and charity volunteers, who gave him a “standing ovation”, as well as a Ukrainian flag which they all signed for him.
“They both came to the concert and the girl and her grandmother gave me a little music box, and they’d gone to the trouble of getting someone to translate a little note to me, which was really nice.”
