Junior Club Membership
Applications must be postmarked by October 1st to avoid a $10 late fee.
Applications will not be accepted after November 1st without approval, and extra fees may apply.
The Junior Club membership is for Music Teachers who want their students to participate in a local NFMC Festival Program. CFMC is a grassroots organization, and local members work together to organize and run their festival and club events. Since federation membership starts at the local level, you will need to connect with your local festival chair. The CFMC membership secretary, Madeline Miller, can assist you with this. In CFMC, your teaching studio is known as a Junior Club, with you as the teacher, and your students are referred to as Juniors, or Junior Club members.
Are you new to CFMC, and want to find a festival area near you?
Contact Madeline Miller, the CFMC Membership Secretary, she will connect you with an existing festival area or district near you, and assist you with the membership process.
Have you been in contact with your local festival chair about membership?
If you have already been in touch with your local chair, print out the membership application below, and follow the application instructions. Contact your area chair or Madeline Miller if you need assistance.
