Music Clinic

Here is the tentative schedule...

All clinic attire must be modest with no hats or jewelry.

Girls:
- Long or 3/4 length sleeve white blouses
- Solid black or dark skirts to the knee or below or black dress pants
- Dark dress shoes, low to medium heel
- Black hosiery

Boys:
- Long-sleeve white dress shirts
- Black or dark slacks
- Dark dress shoes with black socks
- Black bow ties

Sabbath afternoon activities are the responsibility of the chaperones. Students must have complete supervision at this time. For Pine Tree Academy students, on Sabbath afternoon, parents are responsible for their children.

The following are activity options to engage in with your students. Directions will be provided at the clinic.

Each student participating in Music Clinic must be accompanied by a chaperone who is responsible for him or her at all times. Therefore, a chaperone must fill out an application. A chaperone can be responsible for more than one student.

Chaperones will be asked to perform duties at the clinic to insure the program runs smoothly. If you do not select preferences on your application, you will be assigned duties at random. We will try to meet your choices, however, all the duties need coverage.

This year we have a final piano application deadline of February 1, 2025. The music clinic application final deadline for all others is March 1, 2025.

Are there any exceptions? The only circumstance we will allow a student to enroll in Music Clinic after the final deadline is if they have just enrolled in a Northern New England Conference School and have not had the opportunity to apply previously.

There is a $65 application fee. This fee covers the expenses of purchasing music, hiring clinicians, food, decorations, equipment purchases, etc.

There will be NO REFUND of fees after the March 1 deadline. Refunds prior to March 1 will be received only after any loaned music is returned to the Northern New England Conference office of education.

Music Clinic is a  time for kids to spend together, practicing and learning sheet music.

Friday night, Sabbath morning and Saturday night usually has a guest speaker sharing Jesus with the kids and their families. Then the kids have a chance to perform and show their family and friends what they have been working on.

Music Clinic offers multiple categories a student can pick from depending on student grade – please see below (students are able to be in two musical groups). To participate in band, strings, or piano students must have at least a beginner level of ability and understanding of their instrument.
