London's prestigious Guitar Institute has announced its highly regarded 2009 guitar scholarship programme, partnering up with TG's sister website MusicRadar.com and Yamaha.
Plus one lucky winner will get a free place, worth £5,250, on the Institute´s famous Higher Diploma course starting October 2009, and a runner-up gets a £2,600 award for study on the same programme. Applications are invited from students both from the UK and internationally.
The Higher Diploma is a specialist one-year full-time course, originally developed by the Institute to train and develop students of guitar, bass, drums and vocals for a career in the music industry. It was the first full-time course of its kind ever developed in the UK and achieving a place on the course continues to be an aspirational goal for young musicians.
Alumni can be found throughout today´s music industry, working with artists of the calibre of Babyshambles, Lemar, Radiohead, Eric Clapton, Keane and KT Tunstall.
