How do students benefit?
- The opportunity to perform for a live audience. All musicians and performers know there is no substitute for a real live performance and the experience that it brings. A live performance is the ultimate test of knowledge, preparation, and thorough understanding of the music. Practicing at home, by comparison, is comfortable and unchallenging. Of course, lessons provide a need for preparation, but nothing really compares to a live performance.
- Exposure. The chance to perform for others can create meaningful connections!
- Benefit from the opportunity to learn from other students. Through listening to other’s playing and exchanging constructive commentary, students can learn to become more self-reflective in their own work.
- Experience a sense of connection and community! Music has served to connect people for centuries, and we believe that community connection is especially important in a time like now. Music is meant to be shared with an audience, bringing people closer together in times of unrest and uncertainty, and we would like our students to be a part of that experience.
