Who:
Who can participate in recitals? Recitals are designed with all active students in mind. We ask that this is a collaborative plan between teacher and student. If you are interested please open up communication with your teacher to prepare something for the recital.
Preparing for the Recital:
Preparation is the key to having a positive experience performing at a recital. Nerves can sometimes get the best of us, so at least being able to fall back on a well-prepared piece will help counteract nervousness. Students can use this checklist to prepare for the recital:
Music Score
Student can announce first and last name, song title and composer's name clearly.
Tempo and Rhythm
Student can play with correct tempo and rhythm.
Articulation
Student can play all the articulation. This includes slurs, phrase marks, staccato, accents, and legato.
Dynamics
Students play music with dynamics, referring to the notes of the ensemble volume (loud or soft). Also, student can execute the correct dynamic changes (crescendo and diminuendo, etc).
Accuracy in Performance
The student has realistically practiced enough to be accurate and confident on stage.
Memorization
Students will have their recital piece memorized. The student has it completely memorized a minimum of 1 week before the recital date.
Appearance
The student has put thought into what he or she will wear on the day of the recital. The student practiced the song in the same clothes and shoes.
What:
Recitals are a time when students can invite family and friends to listen to their performances. A time to expand learning from the classroom to the stage and under the lights. Plus, students get to hear other musicians from a variety of instruments.
