Dear Music Educator:
I am honored to announce that a $300 tuition scholarship opportunity is now being offered at The Hochstein School for 2022/23 in memory of a Hochstein student, Christopher Thomas Fabrizio-Coonan, by his family and friends.
It is the sponsor's wish to support individual lessons at Hochstein for a 7th or 8th grade trombone or low brass student who excels in their musical activities and who is not already receiving individual lessons. The lesson instructor will be a member of Hochstein’s low brass faculty, whose experience and credentials are described here.
To nominate a student from your school for this scholarship, please apply using the form below by June 6, 2022. If you are not able to apply using our online form, please click here for a downloadable application to print and mail.
We expect to choose a recipient by June 15. Weekly lessons will take place starting September 2022 for a 9-week period.* Depending on guidelines in place at that time, the lessons may be offered online rather than in person at our school. We ask that all applicants commit to completing the lessons covered by the scholarship award (9 weeks of study). *The September start date is preferred however we are able to be flexible if necessary.
We welcome and encourage any student who is not selected to receive the scholarship, but interested in taking lessons, to consider enrolling at Hochstein within our regular offerings. Please note that sliding scale tuition fees are based on family income, and we strive to make it possible for any student to participate, regardless of age, experience, or financial resources.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail: director@hochstein.org. Thank you for your consideration of this opportunity, and for all your efforts on behalf of your students!
Sincerely,
Margaret (Peggy) Quackenbush
President & Executive Director
