How music scholarships usually work

Schools usually hold an audition: prepared pieces on one or two instruments or voice, often with scales, sight-reading and aural tests.

  • Check the standard each school expects at your entry point, since many state a grade.
  • Choose pieces your child can play confidently, ideally contrasting ones.
  • Ask the instrumental teacher for a reference early, as many schools ask for one.
