Scholarships

GPSI Scholarships for Cello, Flute, and Guitar Students

For Students, Amount: Basic tuition of $175, Application due: June 1
We offer scholarships for cello, flute, and guitar students that enable 3 students of each of those instruments who have not received the scholarship in previous years to attend GPSI for $175. That would cover the basic tuition, including masterclasses, group classes, and one elective. There is an additional charge for extra electives. The scholarships are awarded in the order that completed registrations from those requesting them are received, and priority is given to students who are playing in the Suzuki books being offered in the teacher training unit courses. Call us at (412) 414-1156 if you are interested.

At 12:30pm there will be an audition for all those who have signed up for Chamber Music so that the groups can be well-matched in terms of sight-reading and playing ability. We schedule the Sunday classes in order to have all of Friday afternoon free for concerts without penalizing those who have regular classes scheduled in the afternoon. The Sunday afternoon activities are not optional but are regular classes.
