The Miami Conservatory of Music (MCofM) Honor Roll Program was created to provide its students motivation and encouragement by offering them opportunities to advance and exploit their musical talents. It will involve them in beneficial activities and classes that will give them a more complete musical education. The selected instruments are piano, guitar, strings, and voice.
Among these activities are the participation in accredited evaluations and competitions like the Florida Federation of Music Clubs, the Miami Music Teacher Association, the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair and the Miami Conservatory of Music Competitions. Other activities include performance opportunities in special recitals here at the conservatory as well as in other locations around the Miami-Dade County area. In addition, your child will be incited to attend concerts, workshops or forums and/or perform at Master Classes from world-renowned musicians.
Every year, teachers will nominate students of any age and level meeting the eligibility criteria from their studio no later than May 30th, or after an impressive interview if the student is just joining the conservatory. Current MCofM students must have taken a minimum of one weekly private lesson at the conservatory for at least one year. There is a one-time application fee of $60. Examinations will take place during the summer and the Honors Recital in September.
Students must receive a passing grade to be accepted into the Honors Program. They are required to perform a number of memorized pieces according to their level they learned during the year before a panel of judges. Scales and cadences related to the pieces performed are also required (with the exception of the Pre-primary level).
The benefits of participation are:
• Honor Roll Diploma
• Name and Picture displayed on the Honor Roll Wall for the entire year
• Recognition at every recital
• Recognition on the website
• Invitation to participate in the MCofM Recitals as special guesst and in a Concert at a concert venue (depending on level)
• Invitation to participate in a Master Class or Workshop (depending on level)
• FREE tickets (one student + one adult) to selected MCofM events throughout the year
Cumulative Awards:
• 2nd consecutive year: FREE Registration to MCofM
• 3rd consecutive year: Certificate for 3 music lessons
• 4th consecutive year and beyond: consecutive year: Additional 30 min. lesson to the yearly certificate in addition to the initial 3 lessons
