Music Scholarship

The Music Scholarship can be up to a value of 50% remission of fees. It is awarded to a student taking the Advanced Level Music course following an audition and interview with the Music Department Staff. The audition includes a written paper covering aural dictation, listening, general history and composition. Candidates will also be asked to give a performance on their instrument(s) and to respond to aural, sight-reading and sight singing tests.

Sixth Form musicians play a valuable role in the musical life of the school and the Music Scholar will be expected to encourage all members of the school to participate in musical activities, lead rehearsals and represent the Music Department at all public occasions.

Instrumental bursaries are also available for advanced performers.
