The Senior Scholarship Recital honors high school seniors who have taken lessons for all 4 years of high school. They are featured in a recital where they receive a $100 scholarship award in recognition of their dedication to music study.
Guidelines:
Senior students must be studying with a current MSMTA member, whom they have been with for at least the last 2 years of high school study.
Students studying any musical instrument are eligible to apply.
Students must play on the Senior Scholarship Recital to receive the $100 award.
Seniors may play up to 8 minutes of standard music literature. Time limits may be adjusted depending on the number of entries.
Memory is encouraged but is left to the discretion of the teacher.
Repertoire should be late intermediate level or higher.
High school juniors are invited to play one piece, time permitting. While they will not receive a monetary award, they will have the opportunity to perform, and to be inspired to apply for the scholarship in their senior year.
Performers are to dress in concert attire.
Teachers are expected to attend and will be recognized along with their students at the end of the program.
Students may invite their families and friends.
While there is no admission charge, donations to the scholarship fund will be accepted.
All attendees are to follow the MSMTA Program Etiquette Guidelines.
