 Scholarships for oboe
Author: lbarton

Students have often asked me for the names of colleges offering scholarship money for oboists. I was shocked that one very talented student was refused any scholarship help unless she declared herself a music major. She loves to play, was one of 12 all-state solo contest winners and had every intention of playing in any and all groups in college. However she already had made up her mind to be a special ed teacher. I was hoping some of our readers could recommend some colleges that would offer some scholarship help to fine players, even tho they may not be music majors. Students that I have recommended have all had orchestral experience playing in community and undergraduate college orchestas while still in high school. Not everyone is cut out to be a high school music teacher, and most of us know the odds for getting a performance symphony job are very low---hence the goal of majoring in something else, but still wanting very much to play while in college.
Any suggestions??? Lois Barton
