'Proud Mum alert. Today @pianos_our_forte took her Cello Diploma exam. (She’ll kill me for saying this, but for context, muso’s usually take their Grade 8’s at 16 (she took 2 at 12) and Diplomas at 17/18, she’s taking two at 14),' Myleene wrote alongside snaps of her and Ava outside the examination room.
'She is phenomenally dedicated, super talented and conscientious, but ultimately, this girl is kind.'
'I couldn’t be more proud of her and cheering her on, driving her to her exams and sobbing as I sit in the waiting room hearing her play her heart out is nothing short of a privilege,' the proud mum gushed.
Myleene then revealed that 'Ava’s joining @royalacademyofmusic in a few weeks and we’ll be there cheering her on every step of the way.'

'To the people who think Ava’s amazing because I can play the piano, I can only help, I can’t play it for her! This is her achievement.
'To the kids out there sacrificing their time in practice rooms, feeling the frustration, the worry of extra exams the blisters on their fingers and the mums ferrying them around, I see you.'
'You are part of the best tribe ever. You’ve taken the harder route but we’re here for the Marathon, not the sprint. Muso’s rock.'
Myleene ended the post by thanking cellist Heeyeon Chloe Cho for teaching Ava, saying: 'You are incredible x'
