Supporting our students
It's no secret that it is very difficult for a person to move forward without an incentive. The Swiss School of Music does everything to ensure that our students have the opportunity to participate in competitions and concerts as often as possible.
In addition, the recognition and support of the public plays a huge role for young musicians. Getting a scholarship to study or a grant for a specific project is a serious incentive for a young musician.
In the meantime, there is no need to know about it. ”
We invite you to participate in the professional life of our young artists.
