a message from us
A steady lesson routine does a lot for a young musician. Students who turn up every week, practise between lessons and play in front of people tend to surprise themselves within a term.
The scholarship is for students who are serious about that routine and need some help to keep it going.
For questions regarding the application process or scholarship program, please email hello@supersound.asia.
