Recitals

The Fun and Value of Recitals for "Kids" of All Ages

As parents, we want to expose our children to growth experiences that expand their confidence in themselves, and are thrilled when we can find experiences that are nurturing, gentle and encouraging, while pushing the comfort zone.

As an adult learning or re-learning an instrument, it is much more fun to join a community of other adults on that same journey, and are also thrilled when finding performance opportunities to help your musical growth that aren’t painful!

We believe that participating in any of our performance opportunities offers unparalleled benefits for students of all ages and levels - and our students prove it over and over!. Our low-pressure recitals and open mics are designed to enhance the musical journey by providing performance opportunities that boost confidence, encourage self-expression, and develop essential life skills.  There is nothing more rewarding to watch a student grow personally and musically - no matter the age, - continually improving performance to performance, replacing anxiety with confidence and being rewarded by applause!

Building Self-Confidence through Performance

Performing in front of an audience is a transformative experience that builds self-confidence and prepares students for future challenges. Whether it's making in-class presentations, leading meetings, or delivering speeches, the confidence gained from recitals lays a solid foundation for success that lasts a lifetime!  Our music recitals and open mics offer students a chance to shine, reinforcing the importance of preparation and practice in front of a real audience. 

Support for Anxious Performers
We understand that some students may feel anxious about performing and the only thing that alleviates stage fright is repeated exposure to performing! That’s why our friendly, family-oriented environment helps alleviate these fears, offering a relaxed setting with supportive audiences and then being rewarded with special awards. We encourage students to embrace their mistakes as learning opportunities and to celebrate their successes, creating positive performance experiences that build confidence over time. We want your student to succeed in life and are honored to help partner with you to make that a reality.

Encouraging Self-Expression and Communication
At The Music Studio Atlanta, we believe that music is a form of self-expression and communication. Our recitals encourage students to convey their unique interpretations, engaging the audience with their love for music. This emphasis on individual creative expression helps students develop their musical identity and communication skills, fostering a deeper connection with their craft.

Learning to Cope with the Unexpected
In daily life, at any age, the unexpected can occur. Mistakes, unforeseen issues, or missed cues are challenges that even professional musicians face when performing, but could happen during a presentation at school, later in life at work, or really anytime.  Our recitals teach students how to handle these situations tactfully and gracefully, developing their ability to cope with stress and improvise. Learning to manage these moments builds resilience and problem-solving skills, which are invaluable both on and off the stage for the rest of their lives.

Honest Assessment and Progress Tracking

Recitals serve as an honest assessment of a student's progress, showcasing how they have dedicated time to learning and perfecting their pieces. Just like a stock graph with its peaks and valleys, a student's musical journey includes moments of challenge and triumph. Recitals highlight these achievements, allowing parents to witness their child's growth and dedication over time. This progress tracking is vital for understanding the student's development in music and other areas. We think even if a student isn’t making giant leaps musically with their instrument, but gets up and performs with gusto and with minimal anxiety, that’s a huge win in our book!

Celebrating Achievement and Community
It takes guts to get up and perform, no matter how loving the audience!  We fashion our recitals and open mics to offer recognition and motivation to our students, in a warm, caring atmosphere, encouraging them to continue their musical journey. Family, friends, and peers provide a supportive community that inspires and uplifts each performer. At The Music Studio Atlanta, we reward our students for their performance, and the effort, dedication and perseverance it took for them to successfully perform through our proprietary rewards system. Our students love to show off all their awards! 

If you think your student would enjoy performing more as part of a group, learn more about our various group classes with group performance opportunities, such as Rock Band and Chorus. These fun groups play at open mics and recitals together, playing or singing the latest in pop, rock, country or whatever is enjoyable to play!

Something Great for the Resume

For students seeking additional performance experiences at a higher level, consider participating in our Destination Performance Series, offering unforgettable events at famous venues across the country.  These opportunities are not only wonderful for the student’s musical and personal growth, but look great on a college application or later resume.
