Special requests rules:
If you know that a student(s) of yours may need a special time, because they have an allowable excuse, please inform Grace Cheng for South Region, or me for North Region around January, so that we can schedule your student(s) correctly. The only preference request that I let you do on your own is carpool. All other date requests must go through us. You cannot sign up for it yourself. And of course, after the schedule is out, and you find out that your student needs a special time, there is the period of swapping that we allow. So find out early if your student needs a particular time BEFORE we publish the schedule, otherwise you will have to try to swap, which is not a guarantee that you will get your time.
NEW THIS YEAR!! All performance makeups will now be done through the parents and the state office. There will be a designated location and time for them to take a makeup. This is available to all students of all grades. They will announce something in the spring. There is a fee.
Theory makeups are now available to all grades. This date will be announced at the end of test period. The location is my house a always.
All accompanists which are called collaborative artists now need an ID# for the teacher who needs the accompanist, to use in the registration process of their students. If you have a regular accompanist who is not registered with MTAC, you need to "invite" them, where then the state will send them an "invitation". They fill out information and send it back. The state gives them ID#. The teacher then uses that ID# in the student's registration process.
