University of North Park to award music scholarships
(VOV) - Tran Tuan An, a young aspiring Vietnamese guitarist, is passionate about music and he attributes his success to a scholarship he received to attend the University of North Park in Chicago (USA) and Professors Julie Goldberg and Tom Zelle.
Now Tuan An, who is currently studying for his Master of Music at Yale University in New Haven Connecticut (USA), has returned to Vietnam along with the two professors from North Park to select and present music scholarships to outstanding Vietnamese students.
Tuan An successfully managed to persuade the two professors who taught him at North Park University to visit Vietnam from December 15 to 20 to impart their musical knowledge at the Vietnam National Academy of Music and HCM Conservatory of Music.
The first lectures by the US professors are set for December 17 at the Vietnam National Academy of Music in Hanoi and for December 20 in HCM city. At the end of their visit, lucky students will be presented with scholarships to attend North Park University.
Tuan An has won several musical awards in the US such as the first prize at a music competition at North Park University in 2013, the first prize at a contest held by the American Music Association and was honoured by the Lincoln Academy of Illinois in 2011.
