About our Performances
Musical Beginnings offers performance opportunities throughout the year for our students enrolled in instrumental or vocal instruction. Our big Winter and Spring recitals bring out most of our students. The Little Fingers workshop and recital series in February is just for young beginners. Senior Recitals allow our advanced high school seniors who have studied with us for several years to put on part or all of their own concert. Occasional specialty recitals—Band Playalong, Cabaret Night, Honors—give special attention to our intermediate and advanced students. Recital participation is included in a students’ monthly tuition.
Students are welcome to participate in as many or as few of our performances as they like, after discussion with their teacher and family. We have many enthusiastic performers, but sometimes a student prefers to keep music just for themselves, and that’s fine too.
Activities
In addition to performances, we offer games, contests, and challenges to keep our students motivated to practice and improve throughout the year. These have included Scale Olympics, held concurrently with the summer or winter Olympics, Trophy Club, where students are challenged to memorize and perform a set number of pieces, Rhythm Challenge, and the Circle of Fifths theory game. Many of our students have gathered quite a collection of pins, ribbons, and trophies over the years!
Several of our teachers enroll their more motivated students in outside adjudications such as Royal School, MTAC, and National Association of Teachers of Singing, where they can receive outside feedback and progress through a graded system.
