AUDITION TAPES
Students who want to perform during recitals on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday must complete the recital portion of the registration form and send a tape or CD of their polished recital piece with their registration form by May 14th. We encourage recital pieces to be memorized. Please understand that in an effort to keep recital length reasonable, we may not be able to accept everyone who desires to play. We are unable to add students to the recitals once the deadline has passed.
