TIPS

These classes are a fun and casual way to help prepare for the recital! We plan these about a month before the actual recital so that students have time to work on their piece and plan for a successful performance.

Here are some important tips:

Restrooms

Unfortunately, there is only 1restroom at the recital location. Please make sure that everyone uses the restroom at home, especially performers, to avoid delays.

String Players

Please arrive 10 minutes early to tune your guitar, violin, ukulele, cello, bass etc. Even if you already tuned your instrument at home, it is important to tune it again due to many factors. A change in temperature can make the strings expand or contract. Heat causes wood to expand, and cold causes it to contract. So if your guitar is sitting in your room-temperature living room, then in your car with the AC blasting on your ride over, then you park outside and walk into a humid waiting room - the tuning can get jostled if you have a soft case, etc. Please be sure to tune your instrument and have it ready to play so that when your name is called you can start right away.
