Travel & Study Scholarships
Each year Conservatory Canada offers a Masterclass weekend to senior pianists and vocalists (alternating annually) who achieve a high standing in our examinations. Up to six deserving students are invited to come to London to take part in two days of private lessons, masterclasses and a recording session with an internationally renowned clinician. The weekend culminates with performances during the Conservatory Canada Convocation ceremony.
