Find & Fund Support

The GBRT Find & Fund Support programme moves from strength to strength.  This activity identifies local young people who may need assistance with funding of either vocal or instrumental lessons and associated costs.

Throughout the year, the Trustees of GBRT discuss music development funding requirements with local schools in the Market Harborough area and attend a whole range of concerts performed by children and young people.  They will be searching for new young talent who are dedicated to develop their skills with a view to providing funding towards their vocal and instrumental lessons on an ongoing basis.

The criteria for receiving support are as follows:

• Live within 10 miles of Market Harborough, Leicestershire and be a permanent resident in the UK
  
  
• Student attending school in years 4 to 13 in year of grant receipt
  
  
• Show particular promise and enthusiasm towards their instrument/singing
  
  
• Requires financial assistance to progress on their chosen musical instrument/voice
  
  
• Grants only considered to support the playing of one of the following:
  • Woodwind:            Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, Bassoon
  • Brass:                    Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Tuba, Euphonium, Cornet
  • String:                    Violin, Viola, Violoncello, Double Bass, Harp
  • Other:                     Piano, Percussion, Harp, Classical Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Voice

If you fulfil these criteria and genuinely need financial assistance to progress with either your instrumental or vocal studies, simply read the Grant Application Rules & Information and complete a Grant Application Form in full, returning it to the address provided at the end of the form.  The Trustees will then consider each application very carefully and respond within eight weeks from receipt, in writing.

Alternatively, if you have a concert that you would like one of the Trustees to attend as you feel that there is somebody performing that might benefit from funding by the Trust,, please Contact Us by email or by post.
