Current membership dues of MTNA/FSMTA must be paid prior to the registration deadline for Student Day in order for a teacher’s students to be eligible to participate.
There are no specific age or length of study requirements. The program is open to the average student, pre-school beginner, transfer student, high school senior preparing to take college auditions, the late beginner, or even the adult or college student as well as the student with special needs.
The level at which a student enters Student Day each year is left to the discretion of the teacher and is based on the skill level and knowledge of the student. Transfer students may enter at any level without having passed previous levels. Students may skip levels if their teacher feels that they are competent at the new level. Students who have passed a level in previous years cannot repeat that level but must progress to a higher level.
