Special apprenticeship announced
St. Paul, MinN. - McNally Smith College of Music, the pioneering school of American popular music, awarded the first annual Diana Ross Performance Scholarship to an incoming student and unveiled a unique apprenticeship with the American music icon.
The first recipient of the Diana Ross Performance Scholarship is Daniel Musselman
of Jefferson City, Missouri. Established in November 2004, the full tuition
scholarship is awarded annually to one exceptional incoming student. Musselman
will start at McNally Smith in the fall 2005 semester, and will major in keyboard
performance.
In conjunction with the new scholarship, McNally Smith has been given the privilege
to offer an exclusive apprenticeship opportunity from Miss Ross herself. Vocal
major Kaytee Shreve, a native of Tucson, Arizona and St. Paul, Minnesota has
been chosen for an apprenticeship with the Diana Ross summer European tour.
Shreve was selected by Miss Ross on the basis of her essay application.
While on tour, Shreve will keep a blog, describing her experiences on tour
with the pop icon. Visit mcnallysmith.edu/kaytee.html to follow along with Kaytee’s
incredible adventure.
McNally Smith College of Music is proud to offer such unique advantages to
