Students (18 yrs. of age or younger) 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. All MusicLink teachers are required to pass a criminal background check paid for by the foundation. Students are nominated by music specialists, youth coordinators, choir directors, parents or anyone who has a knowledge of the musical potential of the child. Parents are asked to provide documentation to verify financial eligibility. When a student is approved, the teacher will have an opportunity to meet with the family. If all is agreeable to both parties, the teacher will be linked with the new student and mailed an I.D. number and a Discount List. With this I.D. number, the teacher will be able to order music and materials for the MusicLink student directly from the publishers at a discounted rate. Once a year teachers will be asked to complete a very brief evaluation on their MusicLink student’s progress. This keeps our records up to date and lets us know how our MusicLink students are doing. No other paperwork is required. To register as a MusicLink teacher, click HERE. To register a student for the MusicLink program, click HERE.
