DAMTA Music Camp Scholarship Auditions

  1. DAMTA Music Camp Scholarship auditions are only open to students who are currently taking lessons with a member of DAMTA.
  2. Scholarship must be applied to music-related expenses, such as:
    • music camp
    • lessons (current teacher or different teacher)
    • college music tuition (if majoring in music)
    • instrument maintenance (e. g. tuning).
  3. Winners need to apply their scholarship to the instrument/voice they auditioned on: e.g. pianists need to choose a piano camp, piano lessons, or apply their scholarship toward a piano college program.
  4. Scholarship checks will be made out and sent directly to the person/company/school chosen by the recipient. Recipient is responsible for notifying the Scholarship chair and providing all necessary information.
  5. Scholarship amount is $250 for each level.
  6. Winners cannot enter the same level again.
  7. Teachers may not evaluate their own students.
  8. Entrants need to bring original music scores to the audition: no Xerox copies!
  9. Once repertoire has been submitted, not changes will be allowed.
  10. Judge may or may not be DAMTA member.
