Spring & Fall Recitals
Twice a year, students who want to take the stage perform for family and friends at our Spring and Fall Recitals. It's a warm, supportive room where every performer gets cheered on, whether it's their first time playing for an audience or their tenth.
Recitals are always optional, but they give students a goal to work toward, a reason to polish a piece, and a moment to be proud of. Why we love recitals
