The ABC scholar will receive regular conducting tuition and practical performance workshops with the music advisor to St Mary’s Band Club, Professor David King and will also receive a stipends bursary for one year.

The ‘ABC scholar’ will receive conducting tuition and practical performance workshops with the music advisor to St Mary Band Club, Professor David King as well as a stipends bursary award for one year.Ken Bradley, Director, St Mary’s Band Club.
