What is Choral scholar?
A '''choral scholar''' is a [[student]] at a [[university]] who gets money to help with the fees of his or her studies (a “scholarship”) in exchange for singing in the university’s [[choir]]. Some private schools also have '''choral scholarships'''. In the [[United Kingdom]] there are choral scholarships available at schools belonging to a [[cathedral]] or to one of the university colleges in [[Oxford]] and [[Cambridge]]. Some of these choirs are world famous for their [[church music]] such as the choirs of [[King’s College, Cambridge]], [[St John’s College, Cambridge]] or [[New College, Oxford]]. Choral scholars in such choirs will be expected to sing at the [[service (religion)|services]] in the morning and evening (late afternoon) on Sundays as well as at [[Evensong]] on several days during the week. There will be [[rehearsal]]s on most days. == References == *[http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/chapel/choir/collegiumregale.html Collegium Regale – The Choral Scholars of King's College, Cambridge] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070807204233/http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/chapel/choir/collegiumregale.html |date=2007-08-07 }} *[http://www.rscm.com/info_resources/scholarships.php Choral scholarships in Britain] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090122175959/http://www.rscm.com/info_resources/scholarships.php |date=2009-01-22 }} [[Category:Education]] [[Category:Choirs]]
