Music Scholarships
Home > Admissions > Music Scholarships
A number of music scholarships and exhibitions are offered at 11+ and 13+ to pupils who show outstanding potential in at least one instrument.
Music Scholarships and Exhibitions at 11+
Once an offer of a place has been accepted for 11+ entry, suitable boys are invited to apply for a Music Scholarship. Potential candidates should have reached at least Grade 5 on their principal instrument and will be required to perform, sight-read, respond to aural tests and answer general questions relating to their music making.
Each Scholarship is worth £60 per annum, plus free tuition on two instruments. Exhibitions consist of free tuition on one instrument only.
For more details about the examination and entry standards, please contact Andrew Casterton, Director of Music, St Paul’s Juniors – AMC@stpaulsschool.org.uk
Music Scholarship and Exhibitions at 13+
Once an offer of a place has been accepted for 13+ entry, suitable boys are invited to apply for a Music Scholarship. A number of Music Scholarships and Exhibitions at 13+ are awarded each year. The closing date for entries is mid- January and shortlisted candidates will be invited to audition, usually very late in January or early in February prior to entry.
Each candidate will be required to perform, sight-read, respond to aural tests, complete a 20 minute written paper and answer general questions relating to their music making. You can download some example papers below:
13+ Music Scholarship paper 2019
13+ Music Scholarship paper 2017
We expect candidates to have attained at least Grade 6 standard on their principal study, though not necessarily to have taken exams.
Each Scholarship is honorary, worth £60, plus free tuition on two instruments. Exhibitions consist of free tuition on one instrument. Awards at 13+ are retained for three years and are reviewed for the final two years of school.
Further Scholarships are available at 16+
For more details about the examination and entry standards, please contact Mark Wilderspin, Director of Music – MDW@stpaulsschool.org.uk
Being a music scholar at St Paul’s gives me the opportunity to participate in a wide range of ensembles, performing diverse and challenging repertoire, with the support and encouragement of a strong musical community, excelling far beyond the classroom
