The Music Lesson Scholar- ship program provides music instruction to recipients who have submitted an application and who have been recom- mended by their high school music instructor or private in- structor. Students are required to participate in a course of instruction beginning in Jan- uary and ending in May with a student recital performance May 3. Through their course of study, students are paired with instructors who have exper- tise and experience in music instruction and performance and who are recognized as leaders in music. The mission statement of the Friday Musi- cal Club is “to further musical excellence” and the Music Lesson Scholarship program is dedicated to that statement. Following their four-month instruction, which culminates in a public performance, students are encouraged to continue private instruction throughout their high school career, which may ultimately lead to scholarships at their college or university of choice. )ULGD\0XVLFDO&OXELVDI¿O- iated with Astoria High School Scholarships, Inc., and dona- tions to the scholarship fund are eligible for a 501(c)(3) tax deduction.
