For music bursar'.es, we only accepted beginners, applications from secondary school age individuals for singing. Atl other
music bursary applicants must have already started lessons by the age of 12.
For music, our bursaries funded lessons. both inslrumenial and singing, laught by teachers who entered pupils for The
Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music IABRSMI exams.
