Free Studio Aids

Mission: Music Studio Incentive Program

This incentive program is a little bit “Mission: Impossible” and a little bit “Amazing Race!”  To complete the challenge, students must race around the world, completing 3 musical tasks on each continent they visit.  Along the way, they’ll have the opportunity to earn Virtuoso Visas for exceptional work, which may be accumulated and turned in for a “free pass” on any task.  See blog for detailed directions.  All files are available below in PDF and edit-friendly MS Publisher versions.
