Student Code of Ethics

As a valued student of The Motivational Edge, I will adhere to the following:

1. I will respect myself and respect all others because it is essential for success. Therefore; I will treat my peers, adults and superiors with respect, and will use appropriate and courteous language.  

2. A strong individual work ethic is necessary in order to strive for excellence and success! Therefore; I will try my very best during class at ME and at home.  I am always willing to perform at my highest level.  I know that all ME staff and members are here to help me succeed in life.

3. Showing up to school prepared is a vital part of the learning process and attendance is mandatory.
Therefore; I will show up to school prepared and not will miss more than 4 classes in any calendar year, unless it is approved by the administration of my school, parents/guardians or a doctor.

4. Trust is essential for relationships and for each student to excel.
Therefore; I will be loyal to all members of The Motivational Edge, including myself, and I will handle disagreements in an amicable way by getting a staff member to intervene. 

5. Fighting and roughhousing are unacceptable. Therefore; I will abstain from inappropriate physical behavior.  

6. Graciously accept constructive criticism that will make me a better person. Therefore; I will listen to and acknowledge constructive criticism whether it is given by a peer or staff member.  I will not be afraid to ask questions, and if I do not know something I will ask a staff member or peer.

ME provides youth with a creative outlet for musical expression, while at the same time integrating components of literacy into our music programs.  Success in school is a vital part of ME's mission. Using music as a motivational and learning tool, we will draw the underachiever toward desperately needed academic instruction. 
 
Our own youth are walking testaments to the fact that music is an extremely powerful learning tool when integrated into the academic setting.  Our unique programs integrate reading and writing skills  with music instruction in innovative ways, which  motivate and dramatically benefit youth.  For example, ME's music production program, "RAY- Recording Arts for Youth", includes a cutting edge writing component, which emphasizes different writing styles, types of poetry, and various forms of lyrical developments which improve performance in the classroom and on standardized tests.  This also provides a rare and safe outlet of expression for our underprivileged youth.
 
Our DJ Program teaches youth all of the fundamentals of DJing.  Throughout the course of the program the students will learn how to properly set up and troubleshoot industry standard equipment, learn the essential concepts behind DJing such as beat matching, mixing, effect incorporation and performance.  Students will also become proficient with all the industry standard DJ and Music production software.  Lastly, students will learn the basics of remixing current music and recording professional demos. 

The Motivational Edge has many music programs that provide students with a chance to learn; many of whom have never even held an instrument in their hands.

We focus on teaching young students to maximize their learning capabilities and skills by way of academic discipline, which is enhanced and developed through music education.

Students of all ages study music for fun, therapy and even for career development. We offer certification and stress reduction programs, provided by our highly trained and degreed professional instructors
