Recitals are held on Saturdays. The maximum number of students per recital is 12. The maximum length per recital is 45 minutes, and they start on the hour (e.g., 12:00PM - 12:45PM). If you have more students that want to perform, you can schedule multiple recitals. Treats (e.g., bags of Goldfish and cookies) and drinks will be offered after the recital.
Basic Flow
Step 1: You submit a Recital Request Form. It is tentatively approved or rejected.
Step 2: You submit a Performance Details Form. The recital is approved or rejected.
Step 3: We contact performing students' families to get attendance information, prepare programs, etc.
Step 4: Have the recital.
New Recital Request Forms
To start a recital request, please use the Recital Request Form. Please provide at least 30-day advance notice. This step will reserve your date and time if it's available. Unavailable times will be listed on the form.
To get final approval for the recital, submit the Performance Details Form by the due date on your confirmation email (i.e., two weeks before the recital). There are a few things to note about this form. The order that you put the students in the form should match the order of the performance - we use this information to prepare the program. If a student is playing multiple pieces, they will need to play them consecutively. If there are multiple pieces for one student, a semi-colon is required as the separator during submission (e.g., Ode to Joy by Beethoven; Ave Maria by Franz Schubert). We will need the program information on this form at least two weeks prior to the recital date. This is necessary because we will have to contact the families to get a head count for attendance and treats. Your recital will not have final approval until this form is submitted. If we do not receive it by the due date, the recital will automatically be cancelled.
For each submission, you should receive an automated email with some information about the status. If you don't receive an email, there may have been an issue with the service processing the submission, so you should reach out to the office to check on it. Hopefully this won't happen often.
Attendance & Seating
Each family will be emailed an attendance form that allows them to provide details for the following:
- Will the student(s) perform at the recital
- Number of audience members: Each family can have up to four audience members. Requests for additional seats will be considered based on available capacity.
- Number of treat bags
Students will be seated across from the grand piano to allow for more space for audience seating. Student seating arrangement is at the discretion of the instructor. The audience seating is unassigned and first come, first served.
Here's an example of a seating arrangement:
