Last year was a banner year for the CMIE. Not only did we graduate 9 students from the MIE Concentration Program, but we also began a Guided Internship Program with the Atrium School in Watertown, MA and had the pleasure of hearing one of our students give the Commencement Speech at graduation! This year will be every bit as special—so sign up for some MIE classes and get in on the fun!

What do MIE Guided Interns, Watertown MA, and budding young minds have in common? All are involved in a new venture we are calling a'NEC Focus School.' Graduate voice students Jessica Reed, Charles Morgan, and Joshua May are among the first MIE Guided Internship Fellows to be placed in this special opportunity. More details to come ... check back here!

The MIE Portfolio Showcase

This Spring (2008), the CMIE will continue hosting its ongoing Portfolio Showcase to highlight the accomplishments and learning practices of our students. Excerpts of student portfolios will be assembled into 'best practice' and 'process-oriented' portfolios and displayed here on the MIE@NEC website. Portfolio work will be chosen on an "opt-in" basis. See the Portfolio Showcase

Each semester, MIE students can be found doing a wide variety of internships, from conducting their own research projects via the MIE Research Center to teaching private lessons, coaching youth ensembles, conducting Artist Outreach, or exploring connections between literacy and music. Find out how you can become a part of MIE@NEC's successful Guided Internship Program.
