The Music Scholarship Program is offered to new students in 2024 with particular interest in the following instruments (however, not exclusively):
- French Horn
- Trombone
- Oboe
- Viola
- Cello
- Double Bass
Students are to provide a portfolio including copies of recent school reports and any other documentation that is relevant in promoting the music scholarship application. Students should be able to demonstrate a minimum performance standard of Grade 4 AMEB (or equivalent) on their first instrument.
Scholarships are awarded primarily based on an audition. Auditions will be conducted by the Leader of Music R –12 and only applicants meeting the required standard will be invited to attend. Auditions will last approximately 15 minutes.
A scholarship can provide up to 50% remission of tuition fees as set by the College Board and is applicable for the duration of the student’s schooling until the completion of Year 12 providing that the student continues to be engaged in the Music Program both through the curriculum and her co-curricular activities. An additional 100% remission of music tuition fees for the nominated instrument is awarded for 30-minute music lessons taken at the College.
Audition requirements:
- A performance of two contrasting pieces totalling a maximum of 6 minutes. At least one piece should be performed with an accompaniment which can be live or recorded. Students requiring an accompanist are required to provide their own.
- Students who study more than one instrument are encouraged to perform a piece on each instrument.
- Rhythm and aural tests will be followed by an interview.
