What is a Formal Recital?
Formal Recitals are, as their name states, are a formal performance program. Students perform a memorized, polished piece of up to two minutes in length, and dress formally. All students are welcome and encouraged to perform regardless of skill level, provided their piece is memorized and can be played from beginning to end smoothly (without errors). A very young beginning student may play something as simple as “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, while an advanced student may play a complex sonatina.
