About Us

The MPA provides money for music teachers to purchase items that are not included in the music department budget.  In recent years that has included funding busses for field trips, marching band uniforms, concert attire, sound equipment, and instrument repairs.  


The MPA offers fundraising opportunities to music students. The student retains the profits from the sale in an MPA managed family savings account. These funds can be used for music-related expenses, such as music trips, instruments, and music camps, while the family is enrolled in music classes in the MPSD. 


Families must be a member of the MPA and pay $5 dues each school year to participate in fundraising or use funds from your balance. The dues can be paid to @MPA-MPSD on Venmo or given to your students music teacher in an envelope marked "MPA" with your student's name. Remaining funds in a savings account when a student leaves the MPSD music program are moved to the MPA's funds to support other general music program initiatives.
