Frostburg State University (tuition $9410) is located in beautiful Western Maryland in the Appalachian highlands.  We have a student population of ~5,000, with small classes and many opportunities for scholarships. All of our classes are taught by full-time faculty (no graduate assistants) and our Performing Arts Center is one of the most highly regarded facilities in the region.

Frostburg State University’s Music Department offers four tracks—performance, education, industry, and ‘music studies’—allowing students to focus on their area of interest.  Our music education track is unique in the state of Maryland: a five-year program in which the student graduates with a bachelor’s degree, a master‘s degree, and state certification.

Thank you so much and I hope to hear from you soon!

Sound Espressivo live broadcast competition

The competition provides an opportunity for students to perform live virtually. The format is a live classical music TV show which is broadcast through the Internet. The contestants also get an opportunity to prepare with Producers for streaming their performance. The application fee includes a virtual session with a sound/video engineer. I am receiving positive feedback from many colleagues that they find this interesting and education for students, to learn a bit about Internet TV broadcasting through participating in this event. In addition to being heard “live” (virtually) by a truly international panel of distinguished judges who will be “on air” and providing immediate encouraging feedback.
We lined up great program hosts who will offer contestants additional opportunities, such as to be interviewed. During deliberations we will be inviting the contestants’ teachers and the companies which are providing prizes, to be interviewed, too.

Music Teachers and Volunteers needed

The MusicLink Foundation is in need of experienced music teachers and related volunteers in Northern Virginia. With MusicLink, students (children under 18 years old) who show an interest in taking music lessons, but cannot afford full-fee lessons, are linked with qualified music teachers willing to reduce their fee by at least half to make the lessons more affordable. MusicLink teachers are able to take advantage of a variety of offers and discounts from our growing list of Business Partners as well as additional benefits directly from our foundation.

MusicLink teachers are qualified, professional teachers seeking to share their love of music with a deserving child. We have a proven 26-year history of developing the talents of promising students in financial need across the country. Quite simply, our mission is to create musicians, one student at a time. If this sounds like a program you’d like to be a part of, please see our website for more information: www.musiclinkfoundation.org.
