For interested families, any last minute concert clothing items may be purchased at Bonita Bridal (also in the food court – See directory) who have presented us with a 20% promo for all items with this coupon:

4 days before the performance, a performer should be running through the piece from beginning to end, and practicing at 2/3 tempo. Mental practice of the entire piece away from the instrument is particularly useful for imagining the type of performance you want to give and strengthening memory. Practicing the day of the performance should focus on warm ups and conserving energy. This means no repeated run throughs during the day of the recital, but mental practice away from the instrument is always great!

Performing takes tremendous concentration for the performers, and any young children who become restless will need to be immediately escorted outside of the recital hall. Students and guardians need to be present the entire duration of the recital.

All loose leaf sheet music must be in 3-ring binder. We’ve seen many performance disasters with loose leaf music blown off music stands by air ventilation, thereby disrupting the performer’s focus and stage presentation. Don’t let this be your performer!

Students need to bring their music even if they will play from memory as a backup. Needless to say, students need to bring music if they are using it.

We are proud to partner with the Three Roots Mexican Cocina which is located on the 2nd floor of the Mall on the East side. (See directory for precise location – we are hoping to have a representative guide parents and students to the restaurant as well). They are offering 1 Free Appetizer per table!

Coupons will be on your program as well.

Also, our preferred piano vendor Hollywood Piano will be giving guided “piano petting tours” to showcase their wide selection of pianos and keyboards for rent and purchase. Be sure to stop by after the concert!
