Showcases provide a tangible goal to work towards. In having a set date and a pre-planned performance selection, your student learns how to manage their practice time and what it feels like to polish and perfect a piece.
Student Showcases provide a chance for your student (and you!) to reflect upon where they’ve “come from” when watching beginning students. Progress on an instrument can sometimes feel slow, but watching younger students perform gives reminders of the gains they have made and motivates them to continue to progress.

Showcases provide an opportunity to feel successful. Learning an instrument requires many, many hours of solo practice. Performing gives your student the recognition they deserve for their hard-work.
Student Showcases provide a chance for your extended family to be involved in your child’s piano education. Athletes get all the glory… everyone comes to watch soccer games but no one really heads over to watch a music practice session! Involving grandparents and aunties and uncles in the Showcase audience gives your student an opportunity to share their hard work with the ones they love.
Showcases provide a chance for your student to experience nervousness… and to realize that those feelings are okay. We like to protect our children from feeling uncomfortable, but in “real life” these feelings are part-and-parcel of being human. Early experiences with successfully conquering nerves gives children confidence.
Student Showcases provide an opportunity for genuine and heart-felt praise. Bring on the photos and videos and big hugs and flushed-face smiles. Clap enthusiastically. Let your student know just how much you recognize their efforts and watch their commitment to musical lessons soar.
Showcases provide a chance for your student to practice public speaking and to gain confidence in front of a group; two skills that will serve your student well in many other areas of his or her life. Speaking and performing in a safe environment means that your student gains important experience in front of a crowd. The earlier these experiences happen, the easier it becomes for your student as they enter adolescence and adulthood.

*Costs for Winter 2023 pending
Regular registration recital fees will be $50 for a single student or $75 for family (2 or more).
*The first 50 registrations will get a $10 discount from the registration fee.*
Late registration will be $60 for a single student and $85 for family. Late registration is only offered as available. (Generally all of our performance spots are full before the late registration period.
Registration fees go towards the venue, setup, refreshments, staffing, and other costs involved in creating an excellent Student Showcase experience.
When you register, you will designate a time preference. The studio will then organize the order of the performances to maximize the experience and flow of each recital time.
Full Showcase blocks will usually last about 50 minutes.
We recommend arriving about 15 minutes before your scheduled start time to check in and get into your place and ready.
Upon entry into the venue, performers will be checked in and placed in performance order at the right (facing the chairs) front of the auditorium. Parents, family, and friends can sit anywhere else in the room unless otherwise marked.
We leave the front row center open so when your student is performing you can move there to take pictures and video. (Please no flash photography, as it can distract the performers).
All performers should be dressed nicely. For our male performers, nice pants & button up tops. For our females, modest and age appropriate skirts and dresses.
If you have other questions we haven’t addressed here, or if there’s anything at all we can do to help you with concerning Student Showcases, e-mail Mike, our coordinator at mnaber2003@yahoo.com We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
