Piano Parties, Piano Classes and Recitals
Piano parties and repertoire classes give students the opportunity to practice and improve their piano performance skills. Performances build confidence, memory skills and setting performance goals results in thoroughly prepared repertoire. The testing review sessions provide the extra time to review theory and musicianship skills before the examinations.
Recital participation is strongly urged but recitals are not mandatory. Family and friends are welcome to attend these recitals.
MTAGB (Music Teacher’s Association of Greater Baltimore) All events are sponsored by the local association affiliated with the MSMTA (Maryland State Music Teachers) and the MTNA (Music Teachers National Association). The Triple Crown is a local event in which students can earn a music trophy by completing three events offered by the MTAGB. These events are noted on the Calendar.
Calendar events are scheduled monthly so please add these dates and time for piano performance and testing opportunities for each piano year.
