To be considered for this award, you must be enrolled as a Master of Music (Performance Teaching) or PhD student in Music (specialising in conducting) in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music.

Selection criteria

The award is offered to the student(s) ranked highest by the selection panel based on conducting ability demonstrated in their application (video performance submission), standard of musicality and potential to further develop their conducting skills.

Conditions

The recipient is required to conduct and provide tutoring for part or all of the week at that year's annual State Music Camp, held in late June/ early July annually at Melbourne Grammar School. Recipients must hold a current Working With Children Card (WWCC). The recipient will be asked to prepare a Personal Reflection on the experience of participating in the camp to be submitted to the camp and appropriate academic staff within one month of completing the camp.
