Performance and Enrichment Opportunities for Private Instruction Students

Private instruction students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of enrichment activities. Many of these programs are offered throughout the year at no additional charge or for a minimal, discounted fee.

Performance Classes

Scheduled once or twice each month (Oct. - May) usually on Monday or Tuesday evenings, these classes offer students an opportunity to gain poise and self-confidence in a relaxed setting in preparation for the more formal Recital experience. A school accompanist is available for pre-performance class rehearsals for instrumentalists and vocalists, with additional rehearsal time available for an additional fee.

Semester-End Recitals

Recitals, scheduled periodically on weekends during the year, provide a formal atmosphere for student performance; offer evidence of progress for students and families; and encourage students to pursue excellence while celebrating their musical growth.

Certificate Examinations

Scheduled three times during the course of the year, certificate exams offer students with a more serious interest in music study the opportunity to set specific goals, prepare a combination of scales, technical studies and pieces for adjudication, and attain graded levels of achievement over a period of years. Students interested in participating should consult with their teacher. $40 non-refundable registration exam fee required at time exam date is confirmed. $25 due week of exam.

Master Classes/Workshops

Offered occasionally by faculty according to students needs, master classes allow students to learn from each other, developing a broader understanding of both musical and technical considerations needed to prepare a piece for performance. (May require a small additional fee.)
