2010 Summer Workshop

Dear Choral Director,

This year’s annual MSVMA Summer Workshop is on August 2-4, 2010 at the Radisson Hotel in Lansing, Michigan.  Did you know that you might qualify for a Summer Workshop New Teacher Scholarship for attendance to this workshop?

We truly believe in our Summer Workshop and its benefits to professional development for vocal music professionals in Michigan.  In fact, we believe this strongly enough that we have set up a new scholarship fund for you to support your study.  Our workshop effectively meets the needs of all of us whether we have many years of experience or we are brand new to the teaching profession. The opportunity to work with the experts in our field and to spend time with our teaching colleagues is invaluable for success in our classrooms.

We are investing in making the workshop more accessible to you. We veteran teachers, remember all too well those early years.  While being excited to have a “real” income, the practicality of setting up a new career and managing those enormous bills from school make attendance at an in-service more a luxury than a need and a reality. But, what better time to attend and build relationships and continue the track of life-long skill building than those beginning years?

Our scholarship program is made possible through the generous donations of people who believe in you.  This includes businesses in Michigan, districts of MSVMA, and personal contributions. We hope that you apply for one of these scholarships.  The scholarship is available to individuals who have taught less than two years in a choral classroom.  The scholarship will reduce your workshop registrations cost from the normal amount of $210 to $110. The deadline for the application postmark is April 30, 2010.
