WOULD-be musicians across Hampshire have until January 31 to bid for funding to help them develop their talents, with an application to the 2017 round of Dayas Music Scholarships.

Peter Edgar, Hampshire County Council’s executive member for education, said: “For some people, musical tuition and support is only accessible while they’re at school. Dayas Music Scholarships are our way of helping those over 18 to enjoy learning an instrument, revive a skill they developed as a child, or hone their abilities in things like composition or conducting.”

For an application form or more details, call Hampshire County Council’s Music Service on 023 8065 2037 or e-mail [email protected].
