Studio Remodeling Slide Show LESSONS occur once a week and are 30, 45 or 60 minutes long. Advanced students may opt for 75 or 90 minute lessons. STUDIO RECITALS occur once a month on Saturday evening at 5:00, 6:00, 7:00 (adults only) or 8:00 pm (when needed). 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.
