1. Section 1 of 2: Your Background

Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete the MYSO (Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, formerly Music For Youth) Alumni Survey. The purpose of the survey is simple: we’re looking to learn more about the paths our alumni take after completing their time with us. We’re also interested in hearing our alumni’s thoughts about the value of having participated in MYSO.

You have our promise that the information you provide us will be held in the strictest confidence. We will use the information gathered via this survey to build and update our alumni database and to better reach and serve key MYSO constituents (including alumni like you). For that reason, we will be asking that you consider providing us with your current contact information. Thank you, in advance, for your help with this important project.
