Performance Program 2025-2026
The Performance Program provides classes and student recitals held in Vinton Hall, which is located at our main site in Worcester at 10 Irving Street. Additional performance opportunities include a biannual honors recital and various community engagement events throughout the year. If you are interested in participating in the Performance Program, please talk to your teacher about the next steps.
Performance Classes
Performance classes are practice performances designed to help students build confidence and comfort on stage. Each class typically features between 6 and 10 students and lasts 30 to 45 minutes. For students who need a collaborative pianist, rehearsals are available before most classes. Participation requires teacher approval. Attire is everyday casual.
Dress Rehearsals
Collaborative pianist rehearsals and solo pianist practices are designated for students preparing for upcoming recitals. The schedule is coordinated in advance with the teacher and the office.
Student Recitals
Recitals showcase student performances for a welcoming audience of over 60 people. Each recital features 12 to 16 students and lasts approximately one hour. Participation requires both teacher approval and one performance class. Attire is formal.
Please note that student rosters are only updated through the calendar link provided above.
While the office does not send confirmation emails, rosters are updated regularly as forms are received.
Collaborative pianist rehearsals may involve some communication to find the best schedule fit for the student and pianist.
Class Withdrawal Policy
If a student withdraws from a class for reasons other than illness with less than one week’s notice, or if they fail to attend a confirmed class, a $15 withdrawal fee will be charged to their account. The school aims to keep these classes available without imposing additional fees–the withdrawal fee serves as a reminder to families that attending classes should be treated as a priority commitment.
