Sponsoring academic or administrative unit, if applicable: No Response When does your organization recruit new members? (fall, spring, etc.) Our main recruitment efforts happen at the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters, but we welcome applications at any time during the year depending on student necessity and schedule availability! Does the organization require an application? An interview? An audition? a training? probationary period before acceptance into full membership? UT students must have some specialized instruction in an instrument or voice and submit a teaching application for official consideration. Please fill out the application linked on our website, and we will reach out! Approximately how many hours per week do non-exec/general members spend on your organization's activities once accepted? Each week, teachers (i.e. general members) are expected to teach 30-minute music lessons per student; the number of students each teacher is assigned depends on both teacher and student availability. We also have meetings once a month, which are not required but highly encouraged, as we share important announcements, discuss lesson progress, and hear presentations about disability awareness, music education, and more! Overall, a teacher volunteer with one student will spend about 1.5 hours per week on Music United during a week with a general meeting and about half an hour otherwise. Does your organization collect membership dues? What is the cost and frequency of due payments? Yes, we collect membership dues that go towards lesson books, instrument supplies, and end-of-semester concerts. They are $15 per semester. There is also an additional one-time $15 fee for a Music United shirt, which is required for members to wear at their weekly music lessons.
