We are known for our recitals! Starlight Music Lessons offers an exceptional recital/concert experience for the student. Although participation is not mandatory, each student is strongly encouraged to perform as our recitals are the highlight of the year and serve to provide motivation for even the most "stage shy" student. We work hard to make them fun and enjoyable, while still providing a formal and professional experience that helps each student with poise, stage presence, motivation for learning and more!

ANSWER TO COMMON QUESTIONS:
WHAT SONG WILL MY CHILD BE PLAYING?The teacher will pick out a recital piece with your child. Generally, at our Spring recital, the pieces are a bit more difficult than the weekly songs they play, due to the fact that they will be working on the songs for 1-2 months (perhaps even longer for our more advanced students). It is important to tell the teacher as soon as you have registered in order to allow the teacher and student the maximum amount of time to work on their piece.
DO PIECES HAVE TO BE MEMORIZED?Since this is usually determined based on the individual student, your child’s teacher will help make this decision. It is our policy that if the student is very uncomfortable playing without their sheet music, they should be allowed to use it. It is always better to perform with sheet music than to not perform at all or to attempt to perform a piece memorized when you are insufficiently prepared. A positive experience is our goal, regardless of memorization!
IS MY CHILD READY TO PLAY IN A RECITAL?They will be if they practice. We strive to make our recitals a positive experience for everyone. Practice and preparation is important. Our goal is for your child to have a positive and encouraging experience, regardless of age or skill level. The teachers will be working with every student to prepare them for the big day. Preparation (practicing) is important to make the student ready. If you prepare, you'll be ready and have a positive experience. While this is not a competition and students of all ages and skill levels will be participating, it is appropriate to prepare fully, in order to allow your child to have the best experience possible. This means following the teacher's practicing instructions and getting in consistent practicing.
WHAT DO I GET FOR THE RECITAL FEE?Unlike many studios, we only charge a recital fee to those who participate. We do NOT charge ticket fees or entry fees. You and your guests attend free of charge. Some of the costs your recital fee helps to cover include: auditorium rental, setup and cleanup, sound system rental, paying a sound system technician, backstage helpers, programs, reception food, and other costs involved in the production of a recital. The recital fees we charge only offset the costs of the recital, they do not cover recital costs completely. Starlight Music Lessons covers the remaining recital costs.
PREPARATION TIPS: THINGS TO PRACTICE AT HOME
Please review with your children that when they are in the audience, there is to be no talking and no running around. They are to sit quietly where asked.

 Recitals
We are known for our recitals!
Starlight Music Lessons offers an exceptional recital/concert experience for the student. Although participation is not mandatory, each student is strongly encouraged to perform as our recitals are the highlight of the year and serve to provide motivation for even the most "stage shy" student. Recitals are held in local auditoriums, with a maximum or 40-50 students per show. We have a big show every spring, usually in May or June. Winter and Summer recitals are held if there is enough student interest in your area. In addition, we combine recitals with community service by offering organized performing opportunities at nursing homes and retirement apartments. Click here for more information about recitals!
