Interactive Practice Hour, 50 mins / 6-8 students per class
Good study habits are to successful students as good practice habits are to successful musicians. In an hour of guided practicing, our practice instructors will help students set goals, act as accountability partners through routine check-ins and lead discussions that promote a growth mindset.

Why do we play better in practice than in performance? How do we become a better performer? The simple answer to this is by performing more! Performance mastery requires practice just like technical mastery. Every student in the class will have the opportunity to perform. Activities include sharing positive comments between students and receiving constructive feedback from their masterclass teacher.
***Lunch-hour Honors Recital
Participation in the Honors Recital is by video audition only. Selected videos will be streamed during the lunch hour and thereafter featured on our website and Facebook page. In addition, all selected students will receive a certificate of recognition for their achievement.
