3 If a scholarship recipient wishes to learn a second instrument, this can be done, however,
the charges will be paid by the parent/guardian.

teachers in consultations with the Director of Music at any stage.
5 All Music Scholarship holders are expected to choose classroom music as an elective in
Years 8 and 9.
