Trinity Laban, London will afford me the opportunity to study as a musician and position me to achieve my dream goals as a Pianist.
International
It has been my childhood dream to attend one of the Leading Music Universities around the World.
In 2016 at the age of 18 I left NZ and headed to London to further my training as an Irish Dancer at one of the leading Irish Dancing Schools, in preparation for the 2017 Irish Dancing World Championships.
I have fully self-funded and supported myself through busking in London.
As I am one of seven siblings my family have not been in the position to support me.
While I was in London I decided I would pursue my dream to attend Trinity Laban Conservatoire and began the audition preparation required with only 4 months to prepare. I auditioned in December 2017 and shortly thereafter I received a notification that I had been accepted into the Foundation Certificate Programme.
I am a young person with strong character, work ethic and determination to achieve at the highest level in my musical endeavors and studies. As I am from a large family I have been busking to achieve my goals from the young age of 6. This in turn opened doors for me to perform professionally which enabled me to travel to London to audition.
I need assistance because I am struggling to raise all the monies needed to return to London, even though I am working in a Cafe 27 hours a week, busking 10 hours a week and doing whatever gigs I can.
Both Trinity College of Music and Laban have a long and illustrious history as centers of excellence for training in music and contemporary dance respectively. It has the heritage of being the UK's first conservatoire of music and dance.
Studying at Trinity Laban will afford me the opportunity to have a singular focus on studying full time. Being in a pressure cooker environment will also enable me to grow in my craft as a musician and position me to achieve my dreams and goals of becoming an internationally recognized Pianist.
Studying at Trinity Laban I will be exposed to some of the highest caliber of musicians in Europe which in turn will open doors to eventually perform with them. An opportunity that is very difficult to achieve while based in NZ.
I would love to one day record my own CD and perform not only around the world but also back in my home county of NZ to encourage and inspire others pursuing a career in Music.
My ultimate goal and plan is to become a renowned Concert Pianist.
