Requirements for funding include above-average commitment to musical education, a professional pedagogical assessment from the instructor, audio or video recordings as references, and parental consent for minors. Only costs directly serving the funding purpose are considered; investment grants for instrument purchases, subsidies to sponsoring institutions, and ongoing personnel or rental costs are excluded.
