Guy
L. Stoppert Music Scholarship
The Norton Male
Chorus was the home of Guy L. Stoppert. Guy was the Executive
Secretary of the Associated Male Chorus
of America from 1945-1965. In this capacity he also edited
the “Keynote,” a quarterly publication of the association.
He worked tirelessly to promote male choruses and strove to
improve the quality of their presentations. Our chorus, in
his
honor, established a scholarship at Mott and U of M-Flint,
for deserving male vocal students.
The Scholarship
is a grant. It has usually been used for private music lessons,
however if the request is made for books or expenses
then the scholarship committee will consider the request. It
is intended for male voices, but we have given the stipend
to
women when no male submitted. Currently this grant is available
for Mott Community College OR University of Michigan-Flint
students.
Please send an e-mail either to Denny
Cavanaugh or Norton

if you are interested. Good luck and keep on singing!
