Scholarship Recipients 2014

Term 1, 2014
Andie Kliene (Singing Student with Bianca Fenn). ‘As an individual, my interest in singing has only developed quite recently. I began lessons with BFSM after seeing my sister perform at one of the concerts, and I then realised that I enjoyed it too. I thoroughly adore opera and musical theatre, as well as my passion for creative writing, so I figured: If I love telling stories through my words, why not tell stories through song? I hope to continue growing confidence and passion through music throughout this year as I start Yr 10. And hopefully (maybe) study Musical Performance in VCE, and in the future pursue a career in theatre. ‘ |

Yannick Stoeffler (Drum Student with Dayna Hopkins). “Before I discovered the drums, I was learning the keyboard at school for three years. I didn’t mind the keyboard, but the drums always looked like great fun. When my sister started guitar lessons with Ezekiel and I realized there were other students learning the drums, I wanted to give it a go. After only one term of drums with Dayna, I’m saving all my birthday money for a drum kit and I can’t wait to get to my lessons every week. I think that the reason I love learning the drums so much is the beat and the bold noise- it really stands out against the other instruments. I’m only in grade 4 but I know I will be playing the drums for a really long time. “ |

Mila Olsen (Acting Student with Natalie Corvasce, Singing with Bianca Fenn). “I have loved performing since I was very young. I love the idea of telling a story as another person and taking the audience on a journey. In 2013 I began singing lessons with Bianca, and I enjoyed these very much. They also helped my confidence to perform. At the end of the year it was announced that BFSM would be doing a summer school to put on the production “The Wizard of Oz” I was so excited! I did my audition and landed myself the parts professor marvel and the wizard. I made so many friends doing the show and we still keep in touch. During the wizard of oz I realised how much I loved acting. This year I have a lead role in my school production. I did two lessons with Nat and had so much fun! I’m so excited to have this scholarship and I can’t wait! “ |

Molly Driver (Singing Student with Bianca Fenn & Guitar Student with Ezekiel Fenn) “My name is Molly and I’m 13 years old. I go to Catholic Ladies College and I’m in year 8. I have been playing guitar for just over a year and have had singing lessons for 7 years in which 3 years have been with Bianca. Singing is my number one passion. The rush or excitement and enthusiasm before every performance is what I enjoy the most. Also when your up on stage and it feels like you’re in a world of your own and have nothing to lose. With music you can express all your emotions no matter what you’re feeling and it’s a way to speak without words, instead you can sing them. I hope to continue singing for the rest of my life because it is something that makes me happy!” |
