Stephan L. Wolley Memorial Scholarship
My name is Ikpe Nnamdi Victor from a 25 year old young Tenor from Nigeria From my earliest memories, music had been the language through which I have communicated most eloquently. I have always had the propensity for melody and song, and the moments I am in front of a room performing are moments where I feel most alive. This had led me to be certain in my choice to study Music Performance. I am looking forward to developing my technique through intensive study with world-class teachers. My long-term goal is to become a professional performer who can inspire audiences around the world with my music. I hope to perform as a soloist and as part of ensembles, and to share my passion for music through teaching and community outreach. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on the world through my music, and to contribute to the future of classical music. I believe that it is my responsibility to advocate for the rights and needs of students with disabilities. There are many challenges that these students face, such as inaccessible facilities, a lack of resources, and negative attitudes from others. I want to work to change this by educating myself and others about the unique challenges that students with disabilities face, and by working to create an environment that is truly inclusive and respectful of their needs. This includes not only improving accessibility, but also changing attitudes and approaches to teaching and learning. I believe that all students deserve to have the opportunity to reach their full potential, and I am committed to doing my part to make that a reality. With the right support and resources, students with disabilities can achieve great things. In my studies, I would focus on improving the mental health resources available to students. Mental health is an important part of overall well-being, and I believe that students should have access to the support they need to succeed in their studies. I would work to raise awareness of mental health issues and advocate for better funding and support for mental health services on campus. My motivation for studying vocal performance is to pass down my knowledge and skills to future generations, particularly those who may have a harder time learning. I understand the challenges of having to put in more time and effort to achieve the same results as my peers, and I want to use my experience to help others who may feel discouraged or alone in their journey. And also to those who has not hear of classical music before, to make it accessible to them. Especially in my country Nigeria where it is limited to mostly the rich, as someone from a family in need I understand what it means not to have access to classical music and I intend to change that by bringing classical music to their ears so they can be inspired like me and enjoy the blessedness of it. Everyone deserves a chance to learn and grow, no matter how long it takes. I hope to make a difference in the lives of others through my dedication and perseverance. As a musician, my greatest joy comes from the ability to captivate my audience with my art. When I see them following the phrases of the piece, and sighing contentedly at the end of each movement, I know I have done my job. And when they applaud at the end, I know that I have shared something special with them.
