TALENTED youngster Andrew Turner is proving that musical ability runs in the family as he prepares to follow his brother to a top school.
The 11-year-old, from Hornby, near Northallerton, has won a place at the Chethams School of Music in Manchester after impressing judges at his audition.
French horn player Andrew will be joining his older brother Christopher at the school, where he will receive a full academic education, specialising in music.
Andrew, who has been playing the French horn for two years, is part of the national children's orchestra and receives financial support from Sowerby Music.
Proud mum, Rhi Turner, said: "Music is really a family thing. He appears to be following in his brother's footsteps and their music has given them some great opportunities."
