LESSONS OCCUR
ONCE A WEEK and are 30, 45 or 60 minutes long. Students
have the option to do computer lab for 30 minutes before or after
their lesson time. These computer programs give the student extra
drill on the rudiments of notation, theory, ear training and music
history.
Studio recitals occur once a month on Saturday evening at 6:00, 7:00
or 8:00 pm. Not every student performs every month, but many perform
several times during a semester. These recitals occur at the studio
and involve 6 - 9 students. It is a good opportunity to try out new
pieces before playing in front of an adjudicator for an audition or
competition. This is a friendly and non-threatening audience of family
and peers. We enjoy cookies, punch and each others company after
each recital. Students may also perform a solo recital at the studio
for up to an audience of 20 friends and family members. The instructor
will provide printed programs and a reception following the recital.
Events - there are several events which are available to students
throughout the the year. These include auditions (Hymn Playing Festival,
Levels of Progress, City Wide Recitals, Guild auditions, & Jr. Festival)
which are competitions against a standard. The student plays a prepared
program for a judge and receives written comments and a certificate.
There are competitions against other students (Honors Recital Auditions &
State Auditions). Testing in theory, keyboard skills and sight reading
are also available. These events can be tailored to the student’s
abilities and wishes. Check the Fall & Winter Newsletters and the
Studio Calendar for fees and registration deadlines.
