Music Education Scholarship Award
Sunreed regularly donates thousands of dollars each year to support many meaningful endeavours.
Here’s a highlight of one of the many offerings: our Music Education Scholarship Award.
Green Mountain Union High School assists us in finding a recipient, chosen from the graduating class, to receive a $1000 Scholarship Award. A student who shows excellence in music education, overall academic achievement, exhibits a general sense of wellness, and excels in personal and interpersonal skills.
Our 2021 recipient was Jonathan Oakes of Ludlow. Jonathan plays the clarinet, and had planned to attend DePaul University majoring in Musical Performance. We congratulate him for his excellence in music, education, and personal con-duct, and send the best wishes for him in his pursuit of a musical career.
Since before Plato, musicians and music educators have shared the great benefit of music for our youth, to our overall learning potential, and how music can bene-fit our sense of fulfillment and well-being in our lives. In modern times, science and medicine are verifying their ancient insights, while also finding increasing ways in which the intentional use of sound and music can benefit us, from explicit health applications to use in meditation and holistic arts, and achieving that greater sense of well-being.
To further that goal, the staff at Sunreed are honored to present this scholarship to Jonathan, to be used toward his higher education in the year 2021-2022.
Sunreed wishes to express their gratitude for the opportunity to share with mem-bers of their community, and we pray it will serve Jonathan and others in the fu-ture, to discover even more fully the benefit music can bring to our lives, to the lives of those we love, and to our greater community at large.
Congratulations to Jonathan!
