Auditions set for final Ting merit scholarship

If you have aspirations for the big stage, or a career in music, and have at least four years’ experience playing a musical instrument or singing vocals, you may be interested in auditioning for the last of this spring’s three Ting merit scholarships to the Music Conservatory of Sandpoint. This $300 scholarship, to be used toward tuition at MCS this summer or fall, will be awarded to the student who exhibits a desire for high levels of achievement in musical performance and study.

Auditions will be held on Friday, May 10 and Saturday, May 11 from 4 to 6 p.m. These auditions are open to piano, strings, theater, and voice students of middle or high school age. Students can pick up an application at MCS, 110 Main St., during business hours. Each student is expected to prepare a performance piece, be ready to play scales and test in music theory and site reading.
