Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located? 
We are based out of Apopka, FL but we service musicians from 8th grade on up, including adults, within the Central Florida area. 

Are you a school? 
Music To My Mind provides supplemental music education to existing musicians. We do not replace your music program but instead, we support and supplement it. Though our program runs year round, we will work with students whose schedules are affected by marching band. 

Does my student currently need to be in their school's music program? 
It is a requirement for students to be actively participating in their school's music program, with the exception of homeschooled student musicians. Please contact us for special circumstances. 
 
What are the ages to participate?  
At this time we are asking that the minimal age is an 8th grade student. Literature will be chosen based on a medium to advanced level to accommodate high school and adult musicians. We are hoping to have additional youth groups in the future. Please contact us for special circumstances. 

How much does it cost to be a member? 
Music To My Mind is devoted to making music accessible to all musicians in Central Florida. Memberships range anywhere between $50-$100 for the year depending on how many ensembles the musician participates in. Please contact us with any questions or for more information. 

How long is your season? 
Our season runs yearlong. For 2022 we started in March but in the future we will start in January. There will be three concerts (containing all operating groups). A specific calendar will be made available but the concerts will be generally one in the spring, a patriotic concert and in December. There will be a break after the July Patriotic Concert and September for the large ensembles. However during the break, there will be opportunities to play and perform in smaller, chamber ensembles, with a concert at the end of August / beginning of September. Each major ensemble has the opportunity to perform additional concerts outside the three large concerts. 

How often do you rehearse? 
Rehearsals are held once a week on Sunday afternoon/evenings and times can be viewed on the Calendar above. Ensemble directors may hold additional rehearsals in preparation for performances. Any additional rehearsals will be announced as soon as possible and be posted on the calendar. 

How many ensembles can a musician participate in? 
At this time we offer three ensembles. Musicians can participate in all three if they desire. The rehearsal times do not overlap. However, we expect members to fully participate if you sign up for an ensemble,  so please do not sign up for additional ensembles if your schedule will not allow participation.

Do I need to audition? 
At this time we are not requiring auditions for entry. For the instrumental ensembles, musicians will play and rotate part assignments based on their ability. Should there be issues with this process, auditions will be required to resolve and assign parts. The choir may require auditions for literature that has solos. This also applies to the instrumental ensembles, if necessary. In the event of an audition, they will be done blindly and results will be based on preparation and performance of specific musical passages. 

What do I need to bring to Rehearsal? 
All instrumentalists will need to bring their own instrument as well as a music stand. We are working on securing percussion equipment to use. Percussionists will need to bring their own sticks and mallets. Rhythm section musicians in the big band will need to bring all of their own equipment. Choir members should bring their own, solid black, three ring binders. Everyone should come prepared with a pencil. Please contact us with any questions.
