Music students and parents/guardians:

I want to provide information about a tremendous extra-curricular performance opportunity for your student musicians at no cost. Each year, the University of Colorado Boulder College of Music organizes its Middle School Ensembles program (MSE). This program is open to all middle school band and orchestra students for free in 2023. MSE is designed for students with at least one full year of prior formal instruction on their instruments, but students in their first year of instruction are also encouraged to participate. We are thrilled to offer free registration to all interested middle school students this year.

MSE groups meet weekly throughout the spring on Wednesday nights from 6-8 pm at Platt Middle School in Boulder, beginning February 1, 2022. The MSE program accepts ALL interested students, so if your student is looking for an extra opportunity to perform, please check it out. It is an excellent chance for your student to perform with other musicians in the area and culminates with a concert where the students get to showcase all they've learned! We are especially excited to offer this program at no cost to students in 2023!

Here are brochures in English and Spanish (combined in one PDF) for you to learn about this program, including dates and registration information

On these websites, you will find information about dates, how to register, and much more. If you have any additional questions, contact the Program Coordinator at msemusic@colorado.edu.

We hope to work with your students this spring. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Charles Oldenkamp
