Music Scholars

Stonyhurst Music Scholars are expected to demonstrate full participation in the musical and cultural life of the College.

Music scholarships are awarded at 11+, 13+ and 16+ entry level. The remission for a Drama and Musical Theatre Scholars is usually tiered as Major (20%), Minor (10%) or Exhibition (5%).  This is reviewed by a panel and confirmed by the Head.

THE PATHWAY

Overseen by the Director of Music, successful Scholars will follow a personalised Music pathway, including individual lessons on their instrument(s) and participation in, and leadership of, appropriate ensembles. In addition to fee remission, Scholars receive a weekly instrumental or a vocal lesson.

EXPECTATIONS OF A MUSIC SCHOLAR

Music Scholars will be expected to attend regular, appropriate enrichment classes and workshops arranged by the Director of Music. In addition, older Scholars will be expected to take up mentoring and support roles for the younger pupils. All Scholars will be expected to commit to the development of their personal musicianship with regular practise and active participation in ensembles, in some cases performing a lead role or regular solo or chamber performances.

The progress and conduct of all scholars must remain satisfactory at all times, and continuation of the scholarship into the next academic year depends on the scholar fulfilling the requirements that are expected of them.
