Dear Sir/ Madam,
Subject: Application for the post of a musician.
Reference: Advertisement on www.melodytunes.com
I recently came across an advertisement indicating the vacancy for the post of a musician on www.melodytunes.com at The Harlow Music Institute. I wish to apply for the same. I have been learning the violin since I was six years old and have completed the required courses to be a qualified and registered violinist. I also play the piano and have reached the fifth level of the Madame Tussad's course. I am currently learning to play Fair'e lease. I recently participated in a performance at Bianca Opera and excelled in making the show a success.
I have loved music ever since I was a child and pursued it as a hobby throughout middle school, high school and college. I passed out of Akron University with a degree in liberal arts. After that, I was an intern at Charolette Music Company for three years and now am applying to your company. I have flourished in the musical field in ways that I don't even recognize. I can weave different compositions together with ease. It just all comes in a flow. My experiences narrate melodies to me and I am inspired by life to create what I do.
I will be most honored if I could seize this opportunity and work under such an artistic company that encourages young musicians. I will be obliged to come by your office if we could schedule a personal interview as soon as possible. It will be both, an honor and a pleasure working with some of your renowned staff.
Thanking You
Waiting in Anticipation
Yours sincerely
Belinda Mason
