Sample dates.

A recital

A hall, a piano, a short program

Students who choose to play perform one piece, chosen with their teacher a few weeks ahead. Everyone else is the audience.

How it runs

The teacher sits nearby, in case a student wants a hand
Concert dress is whatever the student feels good in
Phones are silent and applause waits for the end of each piece

A hall with a raised platform, an upright piano and wooden pews, in daylight

Start in time for the next recital

Students who start with a placement visit this month can play in the spring if they want to.
