Vancouver Opera Guild Career Development Grant

This just in....

The Vancouver Opera Guild will disburse a $6,000 Career Development Grant in June 2010. This Grant will be available to Canadian Citizens and those with Landed Immigrant status between the ages of 20 and 33. The deadline for the receipt of completed applications is April 15, 2010. This year’s grant is available for singers only.

The purpose of the Grant is to help people involved with opera, or those preparing for a career in the operatic field, to improve their skills or to work on a personal project related to opera. The grant is not available to students for the completion of a music degree, but is designed to assist those not yet fully established in a professional career.

Grant applications will be judged by a jury of three members of the operatic/artistic community on the following points:

- potential of the
applicant
- merit of the project
- artistic/operatic background

The Grant will be made available at the start of the successful candidate’s project. The recipient must send a report on the project to the Vancouver Opera Guild not later than three months after its completion.

Further information and application forms available from:

Wow. You've got a very nice and interesting site here, my friend. I appreciate your passion and efforts in spreading the good news about music and teaching music. Your ideas can surely be useful to most music teachers out there and to their learners as well. May I suggest that you also consider posting some creative and innovative studio management tips and other resources on how we can effectively and efficiently manage a classroom or a studio. This can be of great help to us, studio owners and music educators as well. Thanks again and more power to your endeavors. Til your next posts.
