We will have 2 Winter recitals on November 20 and December 4 at a local church in Torrance. The recitals will include individual solos, an adult performance, and a student band performance. We look forward to another performance by the students!

Recitals accomplish many goals – here are 7:

  1. A performance experience in a public venue and not the family room. It builds self-confidence and poise.
  2.  A goal that gives the student a purpose to manage practice time and get all the parts right.
  3.  An experience that involves the entire family and shows that you value and appreciate their participation in music.
  4.  A timeline on video that captures the progress and complexity of their performances.
  5.  Watching others perform in a live setting is motivational and provides creative ideas and new music genres for their next performance.
  6.  The excitement and “nervousness” that will be experienced and managed by the students will carry to other activities including public speaking and sports.
  7. It’s actually fun!
