I offer a variety of performing experiences throughout the year. Every May and December I hold a Recital at a larger venue. A few weeks before each one, I have opportunities to perform at local nursing homes. This is for two purposes: 1. to offer a smaller, more informal performance setting, and 2. I record the nursing home performances, then the student and I evaluate the performance and note anything to improve, and anything that went well for the upcoming recital. Music is a gift and I like to teach my students to share it. Performances also build confidence, whether the student is a beginner or more experienced.
