Music Scholarships
St Andrew’s College is pleased to offer the following annual music scholarships:
Preparatory School, Year 7
Up to two scholarships are awarded each year, covering 50 percent of tuition fees for two or three years. Applications should be made to the Preparatory School Office by the end of April.
Candidates attend an audition at which they perform two contrasting pieces from their own repertoire on their musical instrument. They may also be asked to sing short passages by ear and respond to aural tests of pitch and rhythm.
The College is particularly interested in players of woodwind, brass and string instruments, although the ability to sing and play the piano is an added recommendation.
