Top 3 Instruments That Make it Easier to Get a Scholarship (1)

At some point, everyone is encouraged to pick up an instrument. For instance, toddlers are handed toy tambourines, drums, and guitars quite frequently.

It is an admirable effort, allowing every child to appreciate one of the most precious things shared by this entire planet: music. Unfortunately, despite these attempts, only a few children come to develop musical talent.

It may not come until later in life, but many students develop a passion for sound that lasts a lifetime. We become band geeks, composers, producers and artists, church organists, and cover band players. But whether it's performing before a few dozen or several thousand, we have the privilege of using our talent to do something we love.

Another great opportunity that comes with learning to appreciate playing an instrument is the educational opportunities. A high school student with a deep passion for music and who has mastered the complexity of an instrument has also developed the capacity to earn scholarships.

Getting a Music Scholarship


Music scholarships are as tough as they come. Unlike other forms of scholarship, those awarded to student musicians will require live auditions and professional judging beyond typical exams and the interview process.

Fortunately, the internet has made it easier to submit these performances. Now, a student in Utah can apply to an out-of-state institute and have as much chance for consideration as the student that lives in that area.

A musician will be expected to excel at their craft and prove they can manage the institute's rigorous curriculum, adding to its academic reputation. You can visit this site for a variety of scholarship programs, be it scholarships for biology students or music students. They have a lot to offer to students from almost every field.

When choosing a school and a scholarship, consider the more popular the instrument, the higher the competition. There are thousands of drummers, guitarists, and wind instrument players, many with exceptional talent. If you choose to be one of those competitors, be a well-rounded artist.

The guitar is also arguably one of the best instruments to grow along with an artist, and it provides good music for almost any composition.

Unless you apply to a specific program, be ready to impress as much with rock as classical and jazz. If you are applying to a particular program, be prepared to be tested beyond your imagination.

And avoid taking rejections personally. Always strive to be the best.

Best Instruments for Getting a Music Scholarship

Harp



It's one of the most delicate instruments in the world and one of the most difficult to master. Dating as far back as 3000 BC, it is considered the oldest instrument in history.

It will take years to master its intricacy, but any student who has given themselves an edge with music scholarships.

Noted Harpists: Synne Øverland Knudsen, Mayim Bialik, Harpo Marx, Alice Coltrane

Oboe


It has been said the stranger – or rarer – the instrument, the greater one's chances for a scholarship. The oboe is key to orchestral woodwind sections and is a phenomenal solo instrument.

It is a simple, graceful, and gentle tool. The right artist can convey a range of emotions with the oboe, including anger, heroism, and threat.

Noted Oboists: Mitch Miller, Yusef Lateef, Jeremy Irons, Andy Mackay

Tuba



It's a far more popular instrument than you might imagine (look at any marching band), but being able to play well requires dedication and talent. If you think not, listen to anyone playing without accompaniment.

If a student plays the tuba, make sure they have studied the concertos explicitly written for the instrument.

Noted Tuba Players: John Williams, Velvet Brown, Heiko Triebener, Herbie Flowers

Bottom Line


To sum up, despite the above information, every student should follow their heart. Without that personal connection to an instrument and the created sound, no application reviewer will see what's needed in a musician. And that's passion.
