STUDENT ASSISTANTS
Music students, ages 13 and older, may apply to be Student Assistants (SAs). SAs help during classes, snack, lunch, recitals, and general clean-up at the end each day. They will also help hand out packets on Monday morning. In return for their work, SAs can enroll in two classes of their choice. To apply, send a letter of personal information indicating special talents that may be useful at MMI, a letter of recommendation from your music teacher and your MMI registration form with your two class choices by May 12th. Students will be notified by June 1st.

AUDITION TAPES
Students who want to perform during recitals on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday must complete the recital portion of the registration form and send a tape or cd of their polished recital piece with their registration form by May 11th. We encourage recital pieces to be memorized. Please understand that in an effort to keep recital length reasonable, we may not be able to accept everyone who desires to play. We are unable to add students to the recitals once the deadline has passed.
