Scholarships Available at Northern Arizona University

[tubalex]

Hello Tubenet,

We have an outstanding and large freshman tuba/euphonium class, well-supported with performance scholarships, however we also have a large graduating class and thus have some spots to fill for Fall 2013.

The NAU School of Music has openings for freshmen and transfer students on both euphonium and tuba, and our studio is always a mix of Music-Education and Music-Performance majors. Although NAU occasionally accepts graduate students, our school specifically focuses on undergraduate students and thus studio members always have lessons, studio class, fundamentals class and Tuba/Euphonium ensemble taught by me, never a graduate assistant.

NAU is in the beautiful mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona. This college town is at 7000 feet, so we have perfect summers and lots of world-class skiing and snow play in the winter, and we are 90 minutes from Grand Canyon and 45 minutes from the red rocks of Sedona. By car, we are two hours from Phoenix, four hours from Albuquerque and Las Vegas, eight hours from Los Angeles and twelve hours from San Francisco.

A perk of auditioning at NAU is simply getting to visit this wonderful place, but if you cannot audition in person I certainly accept recorded auditions.

There are videos on Youtube demonstrating what it is like to study in the NAU tuba/euphonium studio, as well as demonstrations of my own performances:

Ah, I see they've moved you out of the broom closet.

All jokes aside, he's a heck of a teacher. He played a huge role in helping me finish my degree and get into Grad school.

We have a large group of talented young players from throughout the southwest scheduled to audition this spring, but we don't start allocating merit scholarships until early March, and there are still some audition spots open on each of our audition days. Feel free to email me with any questions about studying at NAU.
