Sinfonia brings together men at the collegiate level who are just beginning to pursue music with those who are near graduation, giving younger members a base of experience and a level of performance from which to learn, and providing older Sinfonians with a continuing source of enthusiasm and inspiration. Brotherhood in Phi Mu Alpha teaches trust, sacrifice and mutual support. It allows each member to explore the range of his personality, and to grow not only as a musician, but also as a human being. It is the attitude that governs everything we do. Professionalism is that quality which balances the various elements of Phi Mu Alpha.
Professionalism is serious rehearsal for a quality performance.
Professionalism is developing new members in a spirit of cooperative brotherhood. Of course, a professional fraternity has the literal aspect of promoting a given profession and improving the professional lives and career opportunities of its members. But professionalism is much more than this. Professionalism guides the values and goals of the Fraternity by allowing nothing less than the best possible performance and conduct of each Sinfonian. Our professionalism sets us apart from the rest.
