MAD Moms: MAD moms (or dads) are those who assist the teacher when needed with making copies, making sure everyone signs in their practice minutes, helping with discipline, totaling practice minutes before concerts, handing out practice awards before each concert, making sure that everyone in class is on the roll (and their name is spelled correctly!), if someone is missing for 2 weeks, they call to see if there is a problem we can help with/pray for, and more…. They do Make A Difference and they pay More Attention to Detail (get it?)!  Need 1 each for each class

Fish Moms: A FISH mom–or even a FISH dad–is a person who spends time listening to beginner and intermediate students as they pass off the assigned music selections for their books (as well as scales). A FISH mom or dad needs to have music experience (reading music, knows rhythms, good tone quality, etc–preferably someone with a music background with an instrument) and must be committed to being at Joyful Noise at the assigned time to listen to the students play and also assist them with any difficulty they may encounter in playing their music. Fish moms and dads can really make a BIG difference in the way the beginner and intermediate students play as a whole because the “kinks” get worked out on an individual level. The kids feel more successful and better prepared, and Joyful Noise gets the benefit. The best benefit of being a FISH mom or dad is that you get to mentor students, teach them the things you know about being a good musician–and  you have a great opportunity to help encourage excellence in the Joyful Noise program. Fish Parents are needed to listen to the students before class so that students do not miss valuable class time for testing. We will make every effort to place students with fish Moms or Dads who play the same instrument. A schedule will be made for this position so that helpers can be rotated. We need moms and dads to fill these spots in early September, the job will last all year long. Need 10-14, some for band testing and some for orchestra testing
