Music Recital Information

  • Each music recital is divided into at least 2 sessions. Your teacher is assigned one session in which all their students perform. If the time assigned does not work for you, it is possible to switch recital sessions. However, the teacher will only be at the session assigned to them.
  • The main recitals are at Graves Piano and Organ Co. and the Espresso Yourself Music Café. We have several repertoire classes that are held at our main facility. We will send further information home with the student several weeks before the actual recital.
  • There is no charge for recitals and concerts but we do ask that you bring a non-perishable food donation for the food bank.
  • Students who are singing, playing the violin or another instrument that needs accompaniment, will be given information about setting up a time with the school accompanist a few weeks before the recital.
  • Each session lasts approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours.
  • Performers may sit anywhere they like in the auditorium. We will call each performer’s name and then they come up to perform.
  • Please do not leave after your child has performed. The students at the end of the recital deserve an audience as much as the students at the beginning of the recital.
  • Please do not talk during the performance and keep young children quiet so the performer is not distracted.
  • Please come early if you have an instrument that needs to be tuned (ie. Violin, guitar etc.).
  • Students do not have to memorize music and if they have we still strongly encourage them to bring their music in case they have any difficulties while performing.
  • Students should use a post-it note flag or paperclip on the piece they are playing so they don’t have to find the page in the book at the recital.
  • Dress for the recital does not have to be formal, but please do not dress in immodest or sloppy clothing. The appearance of the performer always is an important part of the performance.

If you have any questions please ask the front desk or email the music director.
