Friends of Music at Emory are music lovers who contribute time and financial resources to help the Department of Music realize its goals and to provide enrichment opportunities for the students, faculty, and wider community. Our executive board members volunteer hundreds of hours each year to meet our fundraising goals.
Your generous gifts enrich the musical life of our community by supporting students and faculty in multiple ways. This year we are proud to announce $26,900 in funds granted to the department and students for programming, academic enhancement, and scholarships for required music lessons for music majors.
Thank you note received from a student this past spring of 2023:
I am writing this letter to thank you and Friends of Music for your assistance in covering some of my lesson costs this semester. Your generosity has had a substantial impact on my intentions to continue to pursue my major in music performance in the semesters to come, by alleviating some of the financial burdens that I am faced with. As a low-middle income student, I depend a lot on scholarships like these to continue my education at Emory, and especially with my family back home recovering from a small financial crisis earlier this year, I am beyond grateful for your donation. Whenever I think of the hard work and numerous hours of fundraising that went into affording this scholarship, I will be motivated to continue to work hard in my music studies.
Warm regards,
A Grateful Student
