		<description><![CDATA[This scholarship, in memory of 2008 Strings &#38; Keys student Emily Stauffer, has been established by Emily’s family and friends. It is intended to help students attend Strings &#38; Keys who might not otherwise be able to do so. We are especially interested in hearing from students who live in a smaller community; who regularly travel some distance for music lessons; who have more than one family member interested in attending Strings &#38; Keys; or who need some financial assistance in order to help defray parents’ accommodation costs in Sundre.

		<description><![CDATA[Strings &#38; Keys is tailored every year for the needs of its students. Depending upon their instrument, their age, and their proficiency, students learn through master classes, chamber music coaching, rehearsals, lessons, special discussion opportunities, and attendance at recitals given by students and faculty. The program begins at 10:00am, Sunday, July 3 with registration and orientation, followed by lunch and an opportunity to meet teachers and other students. First chamber music sessions and classes are held that afternoon. Activities on subsequent days start at 9:00am. Each student receives an individual schedule, and transportation is provided among the various Bergen locations: the Farm, the Bergen Hall, and the Bergen Missionary Church. Afternoon classes finish about 2:30pm, after which rooms and pianos are available for individual practising. Special activities: Tuesday: faculty recital Wednesday: wine &#38; cheese fund-raising event (for parents, adults, and community members) Thursday: Strings &#38; Keys barbeque Friday and Saturday: student recitals]]></description>
