-
Further Musical Enrichment: Workshops and master classes with visiting artists, recitals, and competitions are highly motivating for the developing student musician.
-
Professional Support: Whether a new teacher or a seasoned one, we feel it is important to support and encourage each other. We offer lectures, discussions, workshops, and social events.
-
Pedagogical Enrichment: Some workshops are provided for the students benefit, and others are aimed toward the pedagogy and psychology of teaching.
-
Performing Opportunities: Recitals give teachers the chance to provide all levels of students with performance opportunities in a variety of venues: From large spaces like Park Central Presbyterian Church, or community locations like the Liverpool Library, Barnes and Noble and The Great Northern Mall. Some recitals are theme oriented. All are supportive environments for both solo and ensemble performance. For the students ready for an extra push, there are competitions held every year. One is geared toward pianists, another toward vocalists, and a third for instrumentalists.
-
Music Scholarships: For elementary thru high school students attending summer music camps, scholarship competition winner(s) for seniors, and a merit scholarship for a senior going into music as a major or minor.
-
Student Lesson Tuition Assistance: Provides funds toward the tuition of private music lessons for students who lack the financial means to further their training due to current economic conditions. The amount of the tuition assistance is based on our availability of funds as well as the applicant’s referral from their CNYAMT teacher.
