Treasurer Guidelines for Fees and Reimbursement

The Treasurer’s Report will be issued annually in August of each year. The report will include all expenses and

income from each program and show the financial status of Magic Valley MTA.

Money collected for MVMTA events must be submitted to the treasurer in the form of checks or cash. Checks

must be issued to Magic Valley Music Teachers Association. All money collected from an event must be

turned in to the treasurer by each chairman within 15 days of the event deadline. (For example, if the theory

test deadline to turn in money is January 1st, all money collected must be submitted to the treasurer no later than

January 15th

For the following MVMTA events, teachers will turn in the fees directly to the treasurer. These events include

the Publication Contest, the Composition Contest, the Duet Jubilee and the World of Music Exams.

as costumes for the ensemble program). If you would like to be reimbursed for money spent out of pocket, all

receipts along with the Reimbursement Form must be submitted to the treasurer within 30 days of the receipt.

Any receipts turned in after 30 days will not be reimbursed by MVMTA.

SECOND AUDITIONS WILL BE GRANTED.

Teams will be formed based on the following grade level designations:

o Prep Ensemble – K – 2nd

o Group I – 1st – 4

th

o Group II – 5th

– 8th

o Group III – 9th

– 12th

Exception:

o Students playing below performance level may be asked to move to appropriate group,

and/or students playing at an exceptional performance level can petition to move into a

higher level group.

o Ensemble chair and director will have final call regarding this request.

Ensemble directors will have the final decision to determine student’s placement in the ensemble

based on performance ability on their audition day. Studio teachers are responsible for

communicating to their students the audition results. Directors will not comment to families,

regarding ensemble placement and results.

All students offered a position on a state ensemble team and accept it must commit to learning and

memorizing the music, attend ALL rehearsals, and attend the TMTA Convention in costume, and

perform at convention on assigned day.

All students offered a position on the local team, the Prep Ensemble, must also commit to learning

and memorizing the music, attend ALL rehearsals, and perform at the Dress Rehearsal on June 14,

2017.

Students and parents will be required to sign an audition contract before the audition date. This form

o A $20 late fee is assessed for forms turned in after due date.

Costumes: $68 is budgeted for costumes. It is not guaranteed that this fee will cover the entire cost

of costumes. Many times parents are asked to buy extra items such as shoes, jeans, etc.

Measurements/fittings are necessary as some costumes and/or accessories are ordered. Every effort

is made to stay within the costume budget.

Students do not have to be present for the entire convention, only for the dress rehearsal and

performance. These are usually held Saturday and Sunday. Students, teachers, and parents must

remain for the entire ensemble performance. Leaving early from a performance can disqualify the

entire team from participating the following year.

Every teacher is responsible for supplying in writing their students with ALL information about the

ensemble experience including: location, registration, information about costumes and when they are

to wear them.

The Dress Rehearsal at Valley Keyboards prior to the Convention is open to family and friends. Just

a friendly reminder that ALL participating students MUST attend this event.

Sample letter to parents

Magic Valley Music Teachers Association Ensemble Performance Information

Dear Parents,

Every year the Ensemble Program is available to students across the state as part of the Texas Music Teachers Association

Program of Student Affiliate Activities. TMTA teachers prepare teams of students within a grade-level designation to

play duets on multiple pianos culminating in a performance, in costume, at the TMTA Convention in June of each year.

This year the Convention is June 15-18 in Dallas, Texas.

Passing the Theory Test on grade-level and passing the ensemble team audition are prerequisites to participating in the

Ensemble. Students prepare all year for this event: Theory Test in February, Audition in February music preparation and

costume fittings in the spring, daily rehearsals prior to the Convention, and performing at the Convention.

There can be up to 20+ performers on a team; therefore a lot of preparation and planning are necessary for the Ensemble

Program to be a success. This activity provides an ensemble experience on a grand scale for each participating student

and for the Convention audiences.

Expectations for students and parents are listed below:

Students:

1. Sign the Student/Parent Contract.

2. Pass the Theory Test; Pass the Ensemble Team Audition; Prepare ensemble music; Attend and be punctual for ALL

rehearsals; and be respectful to ensemble director and fellow team members prior to and during the Convention.

3. Attendance and Absences:

Attend ALL rehearsals.

Unavoidable emergency conflicts must be cleared with the director in advance.

If a student misses three rehearsals he/she will be dropped from the team and fees will not be refunded.

Spring Rehearsals will be May 7 and May 20 for Ensemble Groups Prep, I and II.

June Rehearsals will be everyday the week prior to the Convention.

June Dress Rehearsal is traditionally the Wednesday evening prior to the Convention

weekend at Valley Keyboards. Family and Friends are welcome!

Parents:

1. Sign the Student/Parent Contract

2. Send all Forms and Fees to teacher by stated deadlines. (Make checks payable to MVMTA)

3. Plan in advance for all fees, participation in Theory Test prerequisite, individual preparation,

costume fittings, all rehearsals, and all travel arrangements.

4. Facilitate their student’s preparation, and their attendance to ALL rehearsal

5. Arrange transportation, supervision, meals and lodging for their own children.

If you have any questions, please call. I am looking forward to working with your student in preparation for the

Ensemble Performance in Dallas, Texas, June 2017.

2016-2017 NEW GUIDELINES

CONTEMPORARY REPERTOIRE (as of JULY 8, 2016)

The Festival Chairpersons and committee have reviewed all the music formally used in the “Federation Repertoire” series

and have changed the name of this series to “Contemporary Repertoire”. Included are former “Federation” pieces, and

some current “Federation” listings. Other new pieces have been added to increase the selections for each level.

The committee undertook a major review of each music piece in our Festival “Contemporary Repertoire”. They have

realigned the music to correspond with the levels of the Snell Baroque and Classical and Snell Romantic and 20th Century

series. Some of the former music from 2014 has been relocated to a different level; these titles are highlighted in

GREEN. Some solos have been removed because they are duplicated in the newly added books. New music

selections have been added to the levels; these titles are highlighted in YELOW.

Each level contains solos and books. When a book is listed in a specific level, any solo piece in that book may be selected

for that level. We have eliminated multiple levels within a book. Minimum required measures are indicated at the

top of each level’s list. Primer A and B must play 8 or more measures. Preparatory Level and Levels One through Ten

must play 16 or more measures. All music is to be played by memory and all repeats are to be played. It is each

teacher’s responsibility to check and count measures to meet the minimum measures required and make sure the piece is

a qualified piece.

In a few of the new books are duets, and music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and/or 20th Century periods. These

are not to be selected. We have indicated in the table of contents and on each page of a piece the word “NO” meaning it

does not qualify. In the copy binders, those pieces have been left out. It is each teacher’s responsibility to ensure that

NO Duets, Baroque, Classical, Romantic or 20th Century music is given to the student.

The checkout binder with copies of the “Contemporary Repertoire” has been updated with copies of all the new music and

changes to the levels. The binders will be available to borrow beginning in the summer, 2016, for a one week period to

ensure all teachers have time to review the repertoire. Please call Sherri Guerra to schedule a review of the binders. Pick

up and return binders to Sherri Guerra. If you have any questions you may call Vicky Alvarez or Sherri Guerra.
