Help Lauren study in Scotland!

Kia ora e te whānau,

I am very excited to have been offered a place at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to study a Masters in viola performance, with the help of a 50% scholarship for my fees from the school. However, this still leaves a fair bit to cover the rest of my fees and living costs, and I would really appreciate your help!

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is the perfect school for me, with their enthusiastic support of collaboration, accessibility, and diversity. I have LOVED building a career in Pōneke based around a range of classical orchestral and chamber music, collaborations with artists from other genres and art forms, while finding new perspectives on music through my work as a presenter for RNZ concert. I’m hoping to keep exploring these interests in my masters, making new connections and learning new skills that will make me a more flexible and diverse artist. The school also offers Sistema teacher training which will be a wonderful way to continue my teaching journey that I’ve started at Arohanui strings. I’m really excited to have found a school and a teacher that are such a great fit for me, and that align with my values.

This course and school are such a big dream for me and any support is so appreciated. Thank you to everyone who has already offered their kind words, wisdom, and support.
