Have News?
All news for upcoming Newsletters should be sent to susancook@mya.org. We’d love to hear what your child is doing musically (and with other pursuits) as well as information about your school music programs, private teachers, etc.
Recording
MYA has a state-of-the-art recording studio at its Center at Fort Sheridan. MYA students may sign up to use the services of Ed Ingold and MYA’s recording studio to make recordings for summer programs or college auditions. Upon receipt of your contract and deposit, we will contact you to confirm your choice of time. Planning well in advance will increase the likelihood that your preferred recording time will be available.
Fill out and electronically submit a Recording Contract
Once you have completed the contract, you may use the below form to pay your $100 deposit on-line; this deposit will be deducted from your invoice, or kept in the event of a cancellation with less than a week’s notice.
