MYO Summer Planning - Next 4 Months


Last week we mailed some Central Indiana summer camp info to MYO families. We'd like to keep our students involved in positive music activities while out of school and while our program re-boots over this summer.


Today, we're looking at the months of MAY, JUNE, JULY and AUGUST figuring out what needs to be done at what time to ensure we are on task. We've got a lot of work ahead, but it's all worth it. MYO is an awesome program! Some of our objectives during this timeframe include:
  • Articulating a sequential curriculum plan for each orchestra instilling common vocabulary, goals and expectations for students and families as well as repertoire selection that supports the curriculum

  • Reviewing program policies and procedures for tracking student progress

  • Designing an instrument care educational component for MYO students that is appropriate to each age level

  • Developing and fining tune database and reporting tools

  • Identifying college prepartory community resources for collaboration support

  • Developing a parent volunteer support council

  • Creating and organizing a music library inventory

  • Building the 2009-2010 calendar of activities and securing rehearsal and performance locations

These are just a few of our summer goals. If you're interested in giving us a hand, please give us a shout out!
