Recitals

Performing is an important skill for any musicians.   Participating in recital will help students to develop a long-term goal to work towards with, other than seemingly endless weekly lessons.  Also, it is important for a student to learn to polish their pieces and reaches the points of internalization by memorizing the music.  With the opportunity to hear their fellow students play is an excellent way to reminds them of how far they have progressed or motivate them to become a better musician.   Student recitals will be held 3 times a year in November, March and June.
