Object 

​

The object of the Trust Fund is to facilitate, further and promote the study of the French Horn and its literature by providing assistance for horn players towards the cost of purchasing instruments, or for tuition fees.   

Singers and players of other instruments may also apply, but French Horn players will be given preference.   

As technology plays an increasing role in learning an instrument consideration will also be given to requests to support the purchase of digital equipment.  Candidates will be asked to audition, as usual, and at the interview to describe how the equipment will benefit their playing/singing. 

​
