Who We Are

It is the purpose of the Maynard Music Association to:  

  • Provide volunteer services and monetary support to the music programs of the Maynard High School and Fowler School.
  • Promote and recognize the outstanding music achievements, deeds, and qualities of the Maynard High School and Fowler School students, through recognition banquets and to provide awards and scholarships. 
  • Aid and assist the Maynard High School and Fowler School Music Departments in the purchase of needed instruments and other music-related items or expenses that may be beyond the departments’ budgetary limits and to offset music related trip costs by raising money through contributions and fundraising activities. 
  • It shall be the policy of the Maynard Music Association and its members to communicate with the High School and Fowler School Music Directors and school administrators regarding any projects undertaken and to provide assistance to the Music Directors as voted upon by the MMA members. At no time will it be policy or intention of the Maynard Music Association to interfere with the curriculum of the music departments. 
  • Maynard Music Association does not provide services and monetary support to the High School or Fowler School musical or play performances.

Leadership

Maynard Music Association is comprised of parents of music students who volunteer their services toward the betterment of the music programs. Parent volunteers are critical to the success of the Maynard Music Association and its related fundraising and volunteer service activities. To ensure the longevity of the group and to infuse new ideas and energy, new member recruitment is vital.

Support Maynard Students

Advocating for music education is at the heart of what we do. Supporting our student musicians and a strong music curriculum is vital to the success of not only our children in Maynard, but also to the community as a whole. 

“Music education opens doors that help children pass from school into the world around them – a world of work, culture, intellectual activity, and human involvement. The future of our nation depends on providing our children with a complete education that includes music.” – Gerald Ford
