ANNOUNCEMENTS

  Good morning, Dear Teachers,
Premier Music Academy is hosting an Honor Recital for recognizing the talented
student. The recital is open to all area music teacher's studios.
Here is additional info:
The purpose of the Honors Recital is to provide recognition to talented and
motivated students who can prepare for auditions superbly and are confident
enough to perform their pieces in a formal public setting. The Honors Recital
exists to promote classical music through the development of musicianship,
technique and performance to the highest level possible. Students must earn
this special honor through diligent practice, attention to technique and
artistry, and a repertoire in classical music. Students must be nominated by
their teachers for the performance opportunity. The Honors Recital is open to
pianist, vocalist, violinist, flutist, and guitarist. The Honors Recital is
open to all local teacher's music studios. Please submit the application.
Students desiring to participate in the Honors Recital must have a minimum of
two years of private lesson study with a minimal classical music study
repertoire. The Honors Recital is held in the spring.
I hope you will participate in this great event!
Please feel free to email or call me if you have any questions.
Best regards,
