Performing Opportunities

Students are encouraged to perform at the annual studio recital, which is usually held at the end of May.  The recital is truly the highlight of the school year and is a nice way to mark the students' progress.

Through my membership in the Northern Kentucky Music Teachers Association (NKMTA), students can participate in group recitals with students from other teachers' studios throughout the year.

All students  are encouraged to participate in  evaluations held by the NKMTA. Two pieces from contrasting style periods are performed for a well qualified judge.  Students receive written feedback and an attractive ribbon or a trophy for those earning the highest marks.

The top 25% of participants at the local festival are invited to participate in the statewide Kentucky Music Teachers Association evaluations in October. 

You'll receive information about these events throughout the year.
