Sharing our music with an audience is a very important part of music study and cannot be duplicated in any other setting. With that in mind, students are strongly encouraged to participate in one or more of the performance opportunities provided through out the year.

Formal Recitals

There are two formal recitals per year: Christmas and Spring.  Participation in formal recitals is strongly recommended because it provides students with valuable opportinities to share what they have learned with a substantial audience.

Student Workshops

Student workshops are a stepping stone to formal recitals.  A workshop is made up of a 1 hour rehearsal and clinic facilitated by the instructor, followed by a 30 minute informal time of sharing.  Some workshops are for students only. At times, parents and family members are invited into the audeince at the conclusion of the class.  The type of workshop will depend on the needs of the students participating and will be communicated to parents and students well in advance.  Workshops are highly recommended for students who are new to performing, or working through performance anxiety. Workshops provide students with performance skills in a safe, supportive environment and help students build.confidence.

Informal Opportunities

Students are always encouraged to find other informal settings where they can share their talents with an audience.  Church, school, and local community venues are good examples.  See your instructor for more information.
