Once private lesson students have learned a piece and want to perform it, they must sign up for a workshop. Workshops develop community and provide a chance for students to receive coaching from the head of their instrument department (Piano, String, Voice, and Woodwind) and function as the preliminary step before performing in a Friday night recital. The workshop is set up in an intimate masterclass setting where students will perform for the department head and department peers who signed up.
After their workshop, students who are approved to play in a recital will be scheduled in the following week’s Friday night student recitals. All student recitals take place in Rivera Recital Hall and are free and open to the public.
How to Sign Up for a Workshop/Recital:
1. Discuss with your teacher
Your teacher will determine if you have a piece of music ready to perform in a workshop/recital.
2. Make sure you have all the information needed to sign up for the workshop
You will need the composer’s name, title of the work and movement, and length of the work that you will be performing. Please note: pieces over 15 minutes long will be programmed based on recital availability.
3. Sign up for a workshop using the appropriate department link below
Workshop sign-ups are made available on a rolling basis.
4. Check your email for a workshop confirmation
Following your workshop signup, you will receive a confirmation email with all of your information, chosen date, and room location. Your teacher will receive an email requesting approval of this workshop. If the teacher does not approve the workshop for any reason, you will be notified by the office.
5. Sign up for a rehearsal with the piano accompanist (strings/winds/voice only)
If you are performing a piece and would like a piano accompanist please use the sign-up form below. You can choose to rehearse with the accompanist on the same day as your workshop or on a different day.

6. Review the Recital Roster
After the completion of your workshop, students approved to perform in the following Friday night student recital will appear on the recital roster. The recital roster is updated and ready to view as early as the Monday evening of that week. The recital roster can be found in the Weekly Family email newsletter, or view it here.
