In partnership with the Girl Scouts, MCMS has developed two classes that help students obtain scouting badges.
Public Speaker Badge
They call it stage presence: the ability to be yourself and make connections with people-even a crowd of people-and seem comfortable the entire time. And a great presenters’ talent for conveying their points clearly and powerfully is useful everywhere, not just in politics or on the stage. Luckily, you don’t have to be born with these skills; you can develop them. IN this badge, start the process!
Steps
Get a feel for performing solo
Focus on body language
Find your voice
Choose or create a piece to perform
Get onstage!
Purpose
When I’ve earned this badge, I’ll have found my inner performer and be unafraid to speak up.
Musician Badge
Everyone loves music! And making it is just as fun as listening to it. Whether you’re already a musician, or you just want to see what it’s like to make sounds on an instrument, there’s something for you in this badge.
Steps
Explore how music is made
Travel around the world of music
Check out the music in your life
Make your own music
Perform your music
Purpose
When I’ve earned this badge, I’ll know how music is made and how to perform music myself.
Badge classes are offered in November and January and are available in person or virtually. For more information or to schedule a badge class contact Director of Education, Kaitlyn Leahy at education@mcmusicschool.org.
