The school of Bell is for the wildly talented classical musicians of today. Many believe that classical life has died out over the years, however the students which attend this school believe in something different. To them it is not about how famous you become, it is about being able to play for those who still love the ancient type of music.
Gilbert is the new boy from overseas. He previously lived in Ireland but had to move since his father got a new job in their new home. Since they lived close by the school of bell his grandfather signed him up for it. He always saw his grandson’s piano skills as unlike any others. To be respectful he went along with his grandfather, even though that wasn’t his true passion. He was accepted. When he got there it wasn’t what he thought it would be. Instead of it being filled with posh children for wealthy families, they were all bright, loud characters who each had a strong character. There wasn’t anyone who had bought themselves in. They all earned their place.

Gilbert O’Brien is a 17 year old boy from Ireland.
Once his family moved overseas he believed he could work better towards his true goal, construct a rock band, get signed and become a world sensation. However to his grandfather this dream was unacceptable. He didn’t want his grandson to waste his talent. He made forcibly signed gilbert up for the world famous school, the school of bell. There he would study classical music.
Gilbert went along with him out of respect. At the school he was introduced into the top class of students in his year. They were all experts with their instrument. However there was one girl who stood out her name was Kareena. Instead of concentrating on the subject at hand she would constantly be lost in the outside world. He soon found out about her title and talent and was over whelmed like everyone else.
Will his dream of being a rock star ever come true?
"Names Gilbert, my friends back home call me Gil. It's great to meet you man"
"For the last time Kareena, there are no leprechaun's in my school bag, I'm sure of it"
"You're a McDonald?! A real living master of music! That's- that's incredible!"
Tina Diller is the daughter of famous ballet dancer Nicole Cameron. All her life she was trained by her mother to be the best at ballet. Over time Tina grew to love the art, however a sour attitude grew alongside this love.
She wants to create her own spot light and not leach of her mothers. To do this she uses her fathers name Diller. Her mother and father were never married as her father was a criminal and it flawed her reputation to be with him so she let him go so she could dance. Tina has never forgiven her mother for being so selfish as because of this she grew up fatherless.
Tina hates Kareena as she believes that she's simply praised because of her name. Since no one ever sees Kareena play Tina believes that she isn't talented at all and is simply not playing as she doesn't want to flaw her family name.
Will she ever escape the light of her mother?
"Listen new kid, some of us actually want to be here so quit your complaining and cooperate"
"Ballet is the hardest out of all the courses here at Bell. If I don't train daily, restrict my diet, keep up my grades, then I don't succeed, it's that simple"
"I'm sick of the McDonald family! You can all burn in hell!"
Clive has a hispanic heritage from his grandmother but he is also American from his father. (He can have a hispanic accent if you wish, but he has lived in america his whole life so either or is good)
He grew up in a family of poverty as his aunt and uncle stole all his grandmothers money which she had left in her will and ran off with it. He has always been family first and him second. His mother always tried to get him to put himself first and focus on his violin but he wanted to care for them. However when he did play he drew in audiances of large numbers for a street preformer. It was there that a teacher from the school of Bell discovered his rare talent and he recieved a scholarship. With his new goal of earning enough money for his family he went to the school to become a professional musician.
Clive believes that he does not need friends as he needs to use this time of his life to improve upon himself before entering the "real world", but Gilbert was someone who managed to tweak his tunning like no one else could which frustrated Clive.
How will this new incoming friendship change him?
"People like you take everything for grantage, you have an amazing talent so use it, don't just show it"
"Okay yes it is true, I work a part time job to help pay for living expeses. I can't enjoy my time here knowing that my family are on a cliff just waiting to be pushed over"
"The violin was always a strange creature in my eyes. My grandmother played it all over the country, that's how we ended up here, however nothing lasts forever"
Maria is your New Yorker. She's that kid who grew up down the block from you yet you know everything about her. However don't label her as miss popular because she wasn't as shallow as they are in the movies. She used to run around the streets re-creating famous paintings on every wall she touched.
When Mr Leu, the art teacher at Bell, discovered her, she was in the middle of her own piece known as "the true new york" it was a complex and large piece which showed new york through out the ages. She had been working on it for two weeks and he stummbled upon it when it was almost finished. At that moment he gave her a scholarship. She instantly accpeted. Her love for art was never under estimated.
Maria is happy to be friends with anyone that wants to be friends with her. She only asks that they can have a sense of humour. People don't usually go up to her though due to her loud character and vibrant pink hair, naturally she's a dark brown but she's not been that colour in years. Dyed hair isn't usually accepted at Bell but due to her unique talent she is accepted, this annoys many people.
Will her over positive out look on life ever be her downfall?
"I can remember when I was a kid running from the cops cause they had caught us trying to recreate the mona lisa on the back of an old building using spray cans"
"Being from New York created a barier for me so give it all you got"
"Who cares what they think, be yourself and everything will go smoothly"

The Elite are a group of pupils who are at the top of each area that the school teaches.
Erna has to be firm to let the students know that lifes not as easy as they believe, especially since the elite are known for being big headed. Erna gets easily stressed because of this as when she was younger she was a much more free flowing person who wanted to go where her tune took her.
How will this year pan out for her?

"When will you ballerina's stop bickering!"
