Hello! I am Aileen, a young percussionist from Taiwan and I am 18 years old. My dream is to be a Professional Percussionist. Honourably, I have been offered places in both Juilliard Percussion Summer Seminar directed by The Juilliard School in New York and Curtis Summerfest directed by the Curtis Institution in Philadelphia. These two places have an outstanding reputation and I strongly believe that these opportunities will develop my musical skills and prepare me for my higher education auditions this September. I desperately want to go, however the cost of tuition fees and flight tickets to the states is my main concern. I hope you can help me just by giving a few pounds to support me! I would really appreciate it and promise to work really hard for it!! Thank you very much!
