Thank you to the Wingate Scholarships Committee for awarding me a two year scholarship towards my place on the Opera Course at the Guildhall School of Music Drama. I am very grateful for the opportunity they have now given me to live and study in London and attend this prestigious opera course.

"Wingate Scholarships are awarded to outstanding individuals of great potential or proven excellence who need financial support to undertake creative or original work of intellectual, scientific, artistic, social or environmental value and to musicians for advanced training."]]> http://www.skyingram.com/index.php?entry=entry100705-052146
Thank you to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama for awarding me a scholarship to cover my fees for 2010-2011 in the Opera Course. I am very excited about my place on the Opera Course and look forward to all the classes, coachings, performances and opportunities that the course has to offer!]]> http://www.skyingram.com/index.php?entry=entry091215-012523
Thank you to the George Boland Scholarship Fund and the University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium for awarding me with this wonderful scholarship. The sum of $10,000 has come at a most important time, financially assisting me during my studies in London and further language study in the summer. This support is seeing me through my first year here in the UK and is giving me the chance to apply for and take up more musical opportunities than I could afford previously. Thank you so much again. I aim to keep working hard and becoming the very best performer I can possibly be.
Sky Ingram]]> http://www.skyingram.com/index.php?entry=entry091120-200111 The end of my first term at Guildhall School of Music and Drama here in London is drawing close. It is such a wonderful university and the talent is very high. There are many classes to take in my course (Masters of Music) as well as rehearsals, coachings, lessons, auditions and concerts that need to try and find their place in each week. It's excitingly busy and there is always an audition or concert or class to sing in each week (if not, 2 or 3 times a week).

My singing teacher's name is Kathryn Harries. She is also the director of the National Opera Studio here in London. We are working on audition arias, roles and characterisation/acting through the music. She is a very lovely, confident and exciting person and I have really enjoyed working with her so far. Other than my small recital next week, we are concentrating on the opera school auditions coming up in early December and late January.

The weather hasn't been too rotten... yet. And I have finally discovered how to go about 'layering' to suit this city. Everywhere indoors is very warm and outside is very cold. Therefore; normal top + very big jacket and scarf = perfect! It's true, we talk about the weather all the time - because it keeps changing!

I am very excited about the concert I am going to on December 2nd. Phillipe Jaroussky, who is a French male Soprano, is singing at the Barbican! The Barbican is the large complex (like an apartment village with restaurants, cinemas, a church etc) where the Guildhall is situated. I can't wait to hear him live.

My apologies for not writing an entry for a while. I am only just starting to settle in because I have been working very hard and learning a lot of music as fast as I can! I will write these blogs more regularly now so you can see what I'm up to.
