Please provide a short biography of yourself of roughly 100-150 words for publication in the MGI Youth Guitar Competition Program.  There is no set rule here on what you should include – we just want to get to know you better.  You can include reasons why you love the guitar, what inspires you, what you like to do when you are not playing guitar, or neat things you like about your family, awards you have won, anything at all that you want to tell us about yourself. 

Please take the time to proofread your writing – Text will likely be used “as is” in the program.  It is also a good idea to show this to your teacher or your parents before you submit your application – they may catch some typos you may have missed.
