Choral Scholars
The Choral Scholars program is one of the newest additions to Wellesley's Choral Music Program. This scholarship program was created for students with serious interest in choral music. The recipients will expect to:
- Participate in one or more of the choral ensembles
- Serve as sections leaders and/or assistant conductors
- Meet weekly as a group for coaching and research
- Take voice or conducting lessons
Who is eligible? Any student who is currently in a choral ensemble and has demonstrated an interest in choral music is eligible to apply. The following skills are taken into consideration when selecting scholars:
- Good fundamental musicianship: sight-singing skills, the ability to learn music quickly, independently, and the skills to teach to others
- Some voice training from either private studio or advanced choral ensemble
- Interest in choral literature, history, and choral methods
- Confidence in front of a group
- The ability to represent Wellesley's Choral Music Program on and off campus
How does the scholarship work? Each Choral Scholar will be awarded $250 per semester of the 2009-2010 academic year for a total of $500. The scholarship is awarded over both semesters, therefore requiring each scholar to commit to the full year.
