The COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM attempts to reach all populations, including
those who are unable because of limited financial resources or emotional and
physical challenges, to have access to musical instruction and performances.
The Music Academy also responds to community requests for student and faculty
entertainment.
PARTNERSHIPS:
The Music Academy partners with numerous public and private schools, colleges,
school guidance counselors, adult care facilities, community service providers,
and other non-profit and arts organizations within the Piedmont Triad to offer
educational and performance opportunities to all populations of our diverse
community. We actively seek cooperation of arts organizations to ensure
that services are not duplicated and that each organization has its niche
in our culturally rich community. Partnerships provide after-school enrichment
classes, for-credit lessons, weekend and summer week-long camps, and performances.
THE FACULTY SHOWCASE SERIES:
Faculty members perform at selected sites and by community request, to bring music
to different populations of the community and to market the excellent faculty of
MANC.
THE STUDENT SHOWCASE SERIES:
This provides performance experiences in a variety of settings. Students are
encouraged, but not required, to perform at least once a trimester either in the
quarterly recitals held in the MANC recital hall, or in the community as representatives
of the student body of MANC.
SCHOLARSHIPS:
Scholarships are awarded at the beginning of each academic year for a full year of study.
Merit scholarships recognize and reward achievement, and are awarded by auditions held in
May and teacher recommendation. Need-based financial aid is available to students through
application that demonstrates need and musical potential.
