MUSE is delighted to announce our next round of Mentorship programs. These two initiatives are the some of of many ongoing opportunities MUSE will be creating to ensure a more equitable pipeline is available to all current and future theatre music makers of color.

The Music Assistant Experience: A 2 week program of group classes and personalized learning sessions in May 2023.

MUSE One-on-One is for you if you are:

  • A MUSE Directory Member (if you’re not a member, you can join here).
  • An Early-mid career musician
  • Have ability & availability to meet via phone or video call once a month

The Music Assistant Experience is for you if you:

  • Are interested in working on the technical side of the music team in the musical theater industry
  • Have some familiarity with reading music (you do not need to play an instrument).

Applicants who are based anywhere in the world are encouraged to apply, keeping in mind not only where applicants are currently located, but potential relocation options.

2023 Application deadline TBC

MUSE One-on-One

MUSE mentors and mentees will meet virtually at least once a month. Applicants will be paired with mentors from the Founding Membership and experts among the MUSE membership based on areas of interest, skills desired, as well as the preferences and expertise of the mentors. This program will provide an opportunity for MUSE members to spend valuable one-on-one time together and develop a relationship with a mentor that will hopefully carry on past the official six-month timeframe. Participants can select individual music disciplines such as music composition, vocal arrangements, music direction, orchestration, and more.

Program will take place July 15 2023 – January 15, 2024.

2023 Application deadline TBC
