Instrumental Music Scholarship Application Form Music Scholarships are offered for boys entering Year 5 (minimum AMEB Grade 3 standard) to Year 10 (minimum AMEB Grade 6 standard). The availability and value of these scholarships will be at the discretion of the Headmaster and will be dependent on the quality of applicants. All orchestral and concert band instruments, piano and organ are eligible. Applications must be accompanied by a reference from the applicant’s music teacher, a copy of his most recent school report, and information regarding all relevant musical attainments. Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of: • an audition conducted by the Director of Music and specialist instrumental staff • music and school reports • an interview with the Head of Junior or Secondary School. Scholarships covering partial fees will be offered. The scholarship will be tenable until the boy has completed his secondary education, subject to a satisfactory continuing performance and participation in the School’s extracurricular sporting program. Music Scholarship holders are required to participate in all relevant instrumental ensembles and choirs. The scholarship does not cover the cost of uniform, books or stationery. School music tuition fees for one 30-minute lesson per week on one instrument will be covered, provided this is taught by a member of the School’s Music Staff. Scholarships will cover the hire of one instrument, which could be a second study instrument if the candidate already has his own main study instrument. During the audition (approx. 20 minutes), the applicant will be required to: • perform two or three contrasting pieces, depending on length. If the applicant plays more than one instrument, two pieces should be performed on the major instrument and the third on the second instrument • demonstrate sight-reading ability (some aural tests may also be given). Prior to the practical audition, the applicant will be required to sit a music aptitude test (approx. 40 minutes). For closing and audition dates please see the BGS website.
