*Teachers and Parents must create their profiles before students or ensembles do.
Here is how you create your profile.
- Visit the registration link below on your Internet connected device.

- Read through the Terms and Conditions, click that you have read them, and choose Proceed.
- Complete all the contact information fields shown on the screen.
- Students will also need to enter the User IDs for their Parent(s) and Teacher(s), which they can get from their parents and teachers. User IDs tend to look like “ENT00008”. Alternatively, in the new MusicFestivalSuite Accelerando, Parents can create their child’s IDs from within their own profiles.
- Passwords should be written down somewhere so you don’t lose them. If you forget your password you will be asked to reset it. Carolyn Kopp cannot obtain lost passwords, however she can help you find your profile id if forgotten.
- Once you have filled out all required fields and chosen “Create Profile”, you will be sent a confirmation email to the email address you provided. Click on the confirmation link in that email, and you have finished creating your profile!
