Annual Holiday Recital
Please join us for our festive holiday recital on Sunday, December 13th. Students of all ages and experience are welcome to perform one piece. Holiday-themed songs and attire are encouraged but not required! To participate, click the “RSVP HERE” button below and fill out the form by Friday, 11/20. Please be sure to discuss your recital selection with your teacher, either via the messaging portal or at your lesson.
Recital Times:
1:00, 2:15, and 3:30pm
Students will be assigned to a specific recital session. Each recital will run approximately 45-60 minutes long.
Accompaniment:
For vocalists and any non-piano instrumentalists that need accompaniment, Tracy will hold rehearsals on Thursday, December 3rd at FSM. Click here to sign up for a 15 minute rehearsal spot. Please contact us if you cannot make it on 12/3, and we'll do our best to find an alternate date.
Additional Info:
1. Students should arrive 15-20 minutes before their scheduled recital time to warm-up and get settled.
2. Students and their families should plan to stay for the entire hour of their assigned recital session out of respect for the other performers. We ask that you do not make requests to go early or late in the program, as we take numerous factors into consideration when creating the program order, so that we can facilitate the best musical experience for both the audience and our performers.

About Our Events
Rather than offering just one recital at the end of the year, we provide a variety of events throughout the school year so students can become more comfortable performing in front of an audience. All our events are optional, so students are encouraged but never required to perform.
Students of any age and level of experience are welcome to participate. With the exception of our pediatric cancer benefit, all events are free of charge for our students and audience members.
