It's Recital Time!

Every May and June our music program launches into studio recital mode. Every music instructor culminates the music year with a studio recital...to end on a high note (pardon the pun, I couldn't help myself).
 Recitals are formal, where pieces must be polished and well-practiced. Students typically perform more advanced pieces than in Student Performance Nights.
Some instructors combine their studios, which is a wonderful treat for the audience, as they are exposed to different musical talents and repertoire.
Here, Joshua, percussion student of Joshua Jade, performs his duet.
All students perform when it's recital time, even adult students! Plus, watching and hearing advanced students perform motivates and inspires others.


Nate Shaffer, piano student of Roald Wilson, performs Clair de lune by Claude Debussy.
Andrea Vacon performs
Paul, vocal student of Brian Ocock, performs
Alexander Witham, vocal student of Brian Ocock
This is only a taste of our music faculty and their performing students. Recitals are always free and open to the public, and provide a great introduction to music and instruments!
