When only eleven years old Betty Humby won a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music and was the youngest pupil on record to have obtained a scholarship there. She studied under Tobias Matthay , and later under Schnabel in Germany and in Italy.
She first broadcast at the age of sixteen, and has, as music lovers know, appeared frequently at the microphone since. Her concert work includes numerous promenade concerts and provincial work under various conductors. A short while ago Betty Humby toured Scandinavia, Holland, and Denmark, giving both broadcasting and straight concert recitals.
