Scholarship Competition, Mar 4
Jan/14/2017 14:55 Filed in: Member News
Dear Woodbridge Music Club Members:
The WMC Scholarship Competition is coming up March 4th (winners' recital March 5). If you have students who want to compete, please submit the appropriate WMC Scholarship Application Form (attached below) to the chairperson indicated for each competition. Please note that this year there is a separate Chairperson for each of the Piano, Instrumental, and Vocal competitions. The postmark deadline for all applications is February 11, 2017.
Historically, this has been a very successful program for students of our Woodbridge Music Club members. We have changed some of the eligibility requirements this year - primarily the requirement that all student competitors must study with a member of the Woodbridge Music Club. We have also established a new category of membership - Secondary School Associate Membership - which allows high school music teachers the opportunity to join our club and enter their students in the Scholarship Competitions and other programs offered by the National Federation of Music Clubs. Hopefully this will build the number of Instrumental and Voice participants in our Scholarship Competitions and increase opportunities for these Prince William County students to further their music education.
If you have any question concerning the Scholarship Competition, please contact the appropriate chairperson as indicated on the Application Forms:
Piano: Laura Riski
Instrumental: Zuill Bailey
Vocal: Debora Madsen
The application forms are available by clicking the category above.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this important Woodbridge Music Club event as we continue to encourage the young musicians in our area to reach for new levels of musical achievement.
Paul Brady
President, Woodbridge Music Club
