Private Lesson Scholarships
The Maine South Music Booster funds a number of private lesson scholarships to help defray the cost of private study. All Maine South students enrolled in a Fine Arts music class are eligible to apply for a scholarship. More information about the private lesson scholarships and the 2021-2022 application can be downloaded below (when available). The deadline for applying for private lesson scholarships for the 2021-2022 school year is TBD, and applications must be turned into the Fine Arts office.
Applicants will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
a. Financial need.
b. Scholarships may be given to encourage students to transfer to another instrument to help round out the instrumentation of the band or orchestra (e.g. a violinist who agrees to transfer to viola, or a flute player that agrees to transfer to bassoon).
c. Consideration will be given to students who go "above and beyond the call of duty" in terms of their participation, not only in required classroom activities, but in optional or extracurricular activities such as ILMEA auditions, solo and ensemble contest, department recitals, and extracurricular ensembles (vocal jazz, jazz band, chamber orchestra, etc.).
d. Priority is given to students studying privately on the voice/instrument directly related to their MS Fine Arts class.
