TYSA Mentor Program
What is the Mentor Program?
Students who mentor have the opportunity to support younger students in other TYSA ensembles. Mentors lead from within their section while learning to educate and inspire others as a positive role model. This mutual support enriches all students’ experiences here at TYSA, and helps create a welcoming learning environment for everyone.
Mentors help out in their sections, demonstrate proper technique to the younger students, assist coaches in sectionals, and take initiative in rehearsals with the help of their conductors. In addition, mentors receive community service hours.
