Core Values
To be a music scholar means that you master your craft that requires more than just technical skill. It demands gratitude and character as guiding principles in your musical journey. It also means that you remember the community you came from and the communities you will be serving as a musician.
Gratitude
Music is a gift, one that should be appreciated with dedication and humility. It is with a grateful heart that a scholar thanks the opportunities, mentors, challenges that one encounters in the journey of music scholarship.
Integrity
A musician’s reputation is built on trust, whether in honoring commitments, crediting influencers or staying true to artistic expression. Integrity ensures authenticity and respect within the music community.
Creativity
Music is an art form that thrives on innovation. Embracing creativity allows scholars to explore new interpretations, compose original works and push the boundaries of musical expression.
Excellence
Striving for excellence means committing to discipline, practice and
self -improvement. It is not about perfection but a constant desire to elevate one’s skills and contributions to a career in music.
Community
Our scholars come from different communities. At Battig, music is a shared experience. Engaging with fellow scholars, students, musicians, mentors and audiences, opens doors for collaboration, growth and shared inspiration.
Team Spirit
Teamwork is most essential for the music scholars. They need to be able to listen to each other and work together in groups they are gathered in. It is this spirit that carries them through gathered experiences, challenges and audience appreciation.
