Performance Update!

We are so excited to announce our next performance! Nothing is going to stop us from enjoying how amazing our students have been and their dedication to music, creativity and expression! 

Our next performance will be in the format of a virtual broadcast, where we will be live-streaming pre-recorded performances of our students!

This is a great opportunity to create the perfect performance of your song with as many takes as you need. No live stage pressures!

Step One: Register!

No pressure! Not everyone has to participate but we highly encourage it as it provides such a wonderful experience and this one will be recorded for the books to remember! Registration will open before the end of this month. 

Step Two: Preparation

Choose a song with your teacher! Once that’s decided, they’ll be preparing you to record a performance on video. You’ll be using a backing click track that we’ll pay for students to use! That’s free of charge for you but it’ll make sure the audio quality will be amazing once edited.

Step Three: Practice Makes Progress

Practicing is always key in building confidence for performance time. We have a lot of bonus classes for you to use and get more feedback on the song you’re working on. 

Step Four: Recording Time!

This performance is going to be a new experience! There won’t be the pressure of performing live on the spot but it’ll create a wonderful opportunity to record a solid performance. Consider it more like making a video for an audition! Find a nice place or angle to record the video. We also recommend recording during a lesson so your teacher can help you adjust and take a few tries. All videos must be submitted by July 17 so we can edit your video for broadcast!

Step Five: Sit back and Relax!

Our team will get to editing each video. It’s going to be streaming live so make sure to tell all your friends and family! We’ll have links for everyone to share and live streaming will be on August, Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd. Your teacher will also be watching at the time of your performance to share in your experience!
