Class Notes Teen Council
Passionate high school students who help shape the future of classical music and public media.
About the Class Notes Teen Council
The council includes students in grades 9-12 who are passionate about music, curious learners, and community builders. They meet monthly at Minnesota Public Radio HQ in downtown St. Paul throughout the school year. Council members learn about classical music, radio hosting, production, and recording from the Class Notes team and MPR staff.
