Cedar-Rose Newman, 11, took to the stage in two separate piano solo sections on Friday, with her main aim to gain valuable feedback about her performances and give pleasure to people listening.

Cedar-Rose has been playing piano and violin for about five years and does not shy away from the limelight, entering in 15 sections this year including solos, duets and ensembles – and loves that music allows people to express their emotions.

Her mother Felicity Woodhill loves how the eisteddfod creates opportunities for performers. 

‘‘You do it to share with other people. Music and dance ... essentially they’re a social interaction, so it’s sharing about telling stories, they are different languages,’’ she said.
