Scholarship Requirements
Scholarship recipients are required to comply with all policies and expectations of their private teacher, including attendance, practice, and lesson preparedness. Scholarship students are also required to participate in recitals and other Joyful Noise events as required by their teachers.
Scholarship students will work on a special educational project in consultation with their teachers and may be asked to present or perform their work at a program for scholarship donors. In lieu of special projects, scholarship students may assist Joyful Noise in a work study program. Work study assignments might include hanging posters, assisting at Joyful Noise concerts and programs, or participating in fundraising projects and events.
