DoReMees Explained
The Anderson-Siprashvili implemented a reward-based system called DoReMees. Essentially, DoReMees are "academy currency" that academy students are awarded for a wide variety of musical good deeds. These can range from clean-up duty after an academy recital to attending live professional concerts in the surrounding area and beyond. The amount of a DoReMee award is usually specified in advance with the announced event, occasion or task. Alternatively, students are invited to bring in materials (i.e., program from the event) to support their attendance to an unannounced concert or musical event, at which time the academy executive director will determine the amount of the DoReMees.
One DoReMee equals $.01. They can be redeemed for a growing assortment of merchandise sold at the academy from metronomes to instruments to music dictionaries to t-shirts and more.
At the end of each academic year (June), a special award is given to the student who has accumulated the most DoReMees throughout the preceeding year. This is announced and awarded at the Summer Recital in June.
