MSM recognizes the pivotal role that college parents play in the success of their children’s educational experience. In 2021, the School launched 家长评议会 to enable committed 和 supportive MSM parents to be more actively engaged in the life of the School 和 to advance the student experience, including through philanthropic support. Council members share a common interest in stewarding the School’s mission of developing gifted young musicians 和 helping them to reach for the stars.
We invite you to become a member of our Parents’ Council. 作为理事会成员, you will meet MSM’s supremely talented 教师 和 校友, connect with fellow parents, 和 help to advance the School’s culture of artistic excellence, upon which our reputation as one of the world’s foremost music conservatories st和s. Your participation supports the School in attracting 和 retaining supremely talented 教师, improving our facilities, 和 offering a rich learning environment that enables students to flourish.
