Performances

One of the most important aspects of learning music is performance. Each Spring and Winter, First Note Music hosts a recital for students to show off their talents. These recitals provide both growth and self-confidence for fledgling performers. First Note Music and individual instructors may occasionaly host additional recitals or performances that students may attend. Because of this, we strongly encourage that your student participate at these recitals.
