2020 Recipients

Dear Music Boosters,

It is with much joy and appreciation that I share with you the list of the Private Music Lesson 2020-21 Private Music Lesson Scholarships. Starting in 1961 with the awarding of two scholarships, the Princeton Music Boosters have supported the musical growth of hundreds of Princeton music students through the subsidy of private lesson expenses. Although private study is not required for participation in the Princeton Music program, it is well understood that advanced musical achievement requires this level of instruction. The awarding of scholarships to talented and dedicated music students not only encourages their growth but also has a direct impact on the quality of the overall music curriculum.
