Music majors and other Smith students who
have taken a significant number of courses in music are eligible to apply for Susan
Rose Internships in Music. Thanks to the generosity of Susan Wechsler Rose, ’63,
students have profited from internships—in performance, in academic musical
study, in the larger world of the music business—that have ranged from participation
in the opera workshop at the Aspen Music Festival to the study of traditional Ewe
drumming in the African nation of Ghana, and from field work on Buddhist chanting
in California to bibliographical work on Berlioz at the Bibliothèque Nationale
de France.
These internships, awarded by the Department
of Music and providing support up to an approximate maximum of $5,000, are normally
carried out during the summer months following the junior year. For many students,
the projects completed during the tenure of their Susan Rose Internships have been
highly important components of their general musical studies at Smith College, and
have occasionally opened doors to careers in music.
The Department of Music also
awards annual prizes for excellent work in the areas of music history, theory,
composition, and performance. In some cases these prizes offer substantial amounts
that may cover the expense of summer musical study or even tuition at an institution
of higher learning. |
