For Participants & Teachers

1)  Sign Up to Participate

Any interested performers can sign up through their teacher and fill out the provided form.

2)  Preparation

The student should be prepared musically, but memorization is optional.  Teachers should prepare their students with essentials for performance, including how to walk on stage, what to wear, how to introduce yourself/your piece, and how to bow.

3)  Musicale Fee

We require a $10 fee for each musicale participant.  This covers costs for DAMTA to put on events like this and supply funds to our scholarship program.  Teachers may collect these fees from the students.  Students can also pay using the Donate Link or pay in person before the performance.

4)  Access & Participation

Each participating teacher should take up at most 1/3 of the program length.  One of the excellent benefits of these musicales is the mixing of our students and teachers.  Students of all ages, skill levels, and instruments are welcome to perform in our musicales.  Every student, teacher, and audience member should be supportive of the other participants.

5)  Copyright Policy

Copyright laws must be observed; all music must be an original publication, licensed for reprint, or in the public domain.  Photocopying copyrighted music is illegal.

You may mail the musicale chair michaelaallenmusic@gmail.com with any questions.

HOSTING

If you are interested in hosting a student musicale, please refer to the instructions below and ensure to follow the steps. Please reach out to the musicale chair, Michaela Allen, at michaelaallenmusic@gmail.com with any further questions regarding hosting a student musicale.

  • Send out a Passalong Email three or four weeks before the musicale to invite DAMTA members to sign up their students.  They should include the performers’ names, musical selections, and the length of the performance.  Include a deadline (the deadline is up to you, we recommend a deadline of at least three days prior) for them to sign up.  We also recommend sending a follow-up email a week or so before the event.  The host also has the option to choose a theme for the musicale.  Musicale Hosts are required to send out the invitation as least two weeks before the sign-up deadline.

    An invitation email template is available if you need some assistance.

    Passalong Emails are sent using the following Email Address:  damta-passalongs@googlegroups.com

    Link to the Musicale Sign-Up Form (through Google): https://forms.gle/kywmjjhd3SkJw5ct6

  • You may use the templates provided below to create your program or create your own as long as the DAMTA Logo and Donate Link are included.  Please bring enough copies of the program for your audience on the day of the musicale.  You may be reimbursed for up to $10 in printing costs.  Each musicale should last no longer than 60 minutes.  If there is high demand for a particular date, another performance may be added with the same host or another.

    A few days before the musicale, the host should send an email confirming the program details (songs, composers, etc.) to the participants and their teachers.  The host should attach a copy of the musicale program to the email.  This can also be a good time to send event information to the participants and families.  We recommend sending the email below with your concert program attached.  You can easily access email addresses for the performers and teachers from the Google sign-up form.

  • We’re aiming to offer hybrid viewing of our musicales (Live and Online over Zoom).  DAMTA has an account available that you can use.  Send an invitation with the Zoom ID, passcode, and link to all participating teachers; the teachers can pass this along to performers and their families.  If you need guidance in using Zoom, please get in touch with the person in charge.  Here is the Zoom LiveStream Information (also included in the Confirmation Email Template).  We strongly recommend having online performers send a video file ahead of time.

    PASSCODE: DAMTA22-23

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING UP LIVESTREAM EQUIPMENT: CLICK HERE

  • Our contact at Classic Pianos will ensure the space is open and available. The host should arrive at least 45 minutes early to prepare the space.    The host should check in the performers, collect musicale fees, introduce themselves at the beginning of the musicale, and be prepared to speak to parents and teachers about DAMTA benefits.

  • After the performance, pictures of the performers and teachers are greatly encouraged.  The host and assistant should pack up the Livestream equipment in the DAMTA bag and make sure the television and other equipment are moved back to storage.  Any fees or donations from the event should be given to the Musicale Chair or another board member for deposit into the scholarship fund.  Lastly, the host must send a copy of the program to the musicale chair.
