Parent/Student Registration Form

Registration of new students has been temporarily suspended.

We are thrilled that more parents and teachers are discovering the possibilities MusicLink provides for young students. However, over the past few months the MusicLink Foundation has been inundated with requests for lessons from parents stemming from internet queries. These requests are beyond what our teachers and coordinators can handle at this time. The MusicLink Foundation has decided to suspend registrations for new students until November 2 to ease this situation.

MusicLink WILL ONLY accept student registrations IF there is a teacher already in place for the student, who is willing to reduce the normal fee by half, and an instrument that can be used for lessons.  If not, please do not register at this time.

A reminder that MusicLink lessons are NOT free, but offered at a reduced price aligned with what is acceptable for the teacher  (half normal fee) and the student.

Parent/Student Registration Form (C)

Due to an unusually high number of student registrations, the MusicLink Foundation will temporarily be accepting registrations for students seven years and above only. 
 
It may also take longer for students to be placed with a teacher.  Response time is the number one factor in coordinating a match between student and teacher.  PLEASE be responsive to your coordinator.

Form D - Policy Form

The MusicLink program provides lessons at a reduced fee to students who show musical promise. The student is nominated by a school teacher or youth organization leader who notices enthusiasm and interest in music. The program links this student with a music teacher who volunteers to teach at a reduced rate through the MusicLink program. The MusicLink Foundaton does NOT reimburse the teachers for this tuition discount. The MusicLink Foundation collaborates with professional music teachers who are members of national music teacher organizations or performing groups to provide quality instruction for MusicLink students. Once this link is in place, the MusicLink teacher assumes responsibility for this student's instruction. The student and his or her parents/guardians agree to abide by the individual policies and guidelines set forth by their MusicLink teacher.

Please read over the policy sheet and sign below to show you accept the following requirements as stated. Failure to abide by these requirements may result in the loss of this opportunity.

The family will:

  • participate in an introductory interview with the MusicLink teacher to go over specific studio requirements and financial arrangements of lessons.
  • provide financial support for lessons as determined by the program.
  • provide transportation to lessons when applicable.
  • ensure regular attendance at lessons and give reasonable advance notice if a lesson MUST be missed.
  • provide a suitable place and time for musical practice.
  • support the child's musical activities at home, school, and in the studio.

The student will:

  • arrive at scheduled lessons on time, with required music books and assignments well prepared.
  • maintain consistent practice of music assignments andc omplete written theory work.
  • participate in performances and other studio activities.

The MusicLink teacher will:

  • instruct the student in a manner similar to other students in the studio, with the same student requirements and opportunities.
  • keep the scholarship status of the student confidential within the studio.
  • inform parents of student progress in the program through annual student evaluations.
