The Guitar Institute, part of the ICMP, in partnership with Yamaha and Total Guitar Magazine, is proud to announce the launch of the 2010 guitar scholarship programme!

The Higher Diploma is a specialist one-year full-time course developed by the Institute to train and develop students of guitar from all over the world for a career in the music industry.  Institute graduates go on to establish diverse careers within the industry.  For example, guitar alumni Jack Doolan went on to form his own record label, release an album with his band Cypher16, sign a management contract and spent the summer of 2009 touring the US, playing to thousands of fans.

 

The lucky winner will receive:
  • a free place, worth £5,250, on the Institute's famous Higher Diploma course starting in October 2010
  •  the chance to experience the fantastic tuition and facilities at the Institute in London
  • bespoke artist development guidance
  • opportunities for performance showcases
  • the chance to develop their profile by contributing a regular feature on the Total Guitar website.

One runner-up will receive a £2,600 award for study on the same programme. Applications are invited from students both from the UK and internationally.
