Who is this for?

MOR In-School Program is for any school that desires a Teaching Artist to come and work with their students. It is an opportunity to provide additional help for your students for an instrument that may not be your specialty, help to prep them for local and district events, or just give them a different perspective. Each of our teachers is a professional musician, has been carefully selected to provide the best possible instruction, and completed a background check.

My school administration isn’t able to pay for this; how can I get funding?

• School booster programs: Many individual school programs are eligible to have a booster program to provide extra funding. If you aren’t sure if your program has one or is eligible, check with your school administration.

• PTA funds: These function similarly to booster programs but are not program specific. Check with your school administration for information on contacting your PTA.

• Discretionary funds: Many teachers are given some amount of discretionary funds to put toward classroom needs.

• MOR Scholarship: if you are unable to obtain funding through your school, please set up a consultation with MOR.

  How long are the sessions?

• Typical sessions will align with class period length.

  • 75 minutes

  • 90 minutes

• If your class period falls outside the lengths listed above, please contact MOR for pricing.

• Sessions can be split into different activities; a session could include a 45-minute sectional and a 45-minute private or group lesson.

How much does a session cost?

• One 75-minute session: $175

  • *Two or more sessions booked at the same time: $150 per session ($25 discount)

    *The sessions do not need to be all scheduled at the same time.

• One 90-minute session: $200

  • *Two or more sessions booked at the same time: $175 per session ($25 discount)

    *The sessions do not need to be all scheduled at the same time.

Where does the money go?

A small administrative fee goes to MOR with the remainder going directly to the Artist Teacher. 

How do I set up a coaching?

If possible, contact MOR at least 45 days prior to the session date to set up a short consultation. In the consultation, we will go over things such as when, what type of session, and the student level. We can then set you up with a Teaching Artist available for the preferred date*.

*Music Orchard cannot guarantee the date proposed; confirmation is contingent on the availability of teachers.
