Cellist award

Jocelyn Woodley, a young Christchurch cellist, has been awarded an Associated Board scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She was invited to audition for the scholarship after gaining the highest marks in Christchurch for the L.R.S.M. examination last year. Jocelyn Woodley, who began cello lessons at eight with Bronwen Gill at the Christchurch School of Intrumental Music, has for five years studied with Frances de Goldi, herself a scholar at the Royal Academy.

Miss Woodley plays with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and for the last two years has been principal cellist with both the Christchurch Youth Orchestra and the New Zealand Youth Orchestra. She studies piano and theory with her father, Wallace Woodley (a former Associated Board scholar) and holds L.T.C.L. performer’s cello and A.T.C.L. teacher’s piano diplomas. Before taking up the scholarship she will finish a degree in history and French at the University of Canterbury.
