Master Coaching — Between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, registered students can play in a Master Coaching session with a distinguished West Chester University faculty member. This is an excellent opportunity for students at all levels to receive guidance in an intimate setting for pieces that are either in progress or at performance level. Memorization is NOT required. Teachers may reserve up to one and a half hours of time in 20-minute blocks at $30 per block. The student’s teacher and parents are invited to attend the session, which takes place in the faculty member’s studio.
Play-a-Thon — This annual fundraiser will run from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Ware Recital Hall in Swope. Earnings from the event benefit MLMTA and the Constance Murray Scholarship Fund. This is a low-key performance opportunity that is fun for students while raising money for a worthy cause. Some teachers use the time for repertoire classes, ensemble playing, or for recitals. You may generate and collect funds any way you wish, but a minimum of $50 per hour is required. If you wish your students to participate in a typical ‘play-a-thon’ style fundraising, you may print the special chart found on our "Registration For Events" webpage (or also in Members Only under "Resources") to have them solicit sponsors!
AFTER THE PLAY-A-THON, ANY EXTRA FUNDS RAISED MUST BE
SUBMITTED THROUGH PAYPAL BY MARCH 1.
