Dorothy Howell won many prizes during her time as a student of the Royal Academy of Music, including the Hine Prize in 1914. She was awarded a scholarship (highly commended) in March 1916 and describes the event in great detail in one of her letters. “Myra shook hands and said ‘Congratulations it was a delightful performance’. Then they told me that I stood out among all the competitors as far and away the best.” The examiner was the great pianist, Myra Hess.
