FAQs
Can Beginner Students Perform?
Yes. Speak with your Music Notes teacher. Ask if your son or daughter is ready to perform.
How Long Is The Spring Recital?
About an 60mins to 90mins. It depends on how many students sign-up.
Our Student Concerts – Winter Concerts and Spring Recitals – include student solos, duets, teacher performances and our performance ensembles. We began offering student concerts in ’07. Past Winter Concerts and Spring Recitals included teacher performances, duets and trios, percussion ensembles, string quartets, chamber groups and rock bands.
Spring Recitals '23 Registration - Deadline to Sign-Up is 2/14/23
Whoops. It looks like the Spring Recitals '23 Registration is closed. Please email Brandon at director@musicnotesacademy.com. Let's see what we can do.
Once upon a time we had multiple Spring Recitals. In ’09 we added Winter Concerts for students that were unable to perform in our Spring Recitals. We awarded students with Performance, Academy and Musicianship Awards. We had Chairperson Awards, which were special performance awards presented to an outstanding performing student. We believe it’s important for students to work diligently towards a performance of excellence, regardless of age or ability level. However, we do not require student performances, as some students are not ready to perform. We do recommend students attend performances, to watch, listen and support their peers.

I just wanted to say thanks again for setting up the (online) lesson. Sean was very helpful this evening and taught some interesting beginning techniques. I enjoyed working with him and look forward to next week’s lesson!

Not sure if Brielle shared the news but she auditioned on xylophone and already got the email from her teacher, she made wind ensemble honors! Thank you so much for preparing her. This meant a lot to Brielle and I haven’t seen her so happy in a long time. Next up is drumline for marching band.

I wanted to share with you – Rebecca may have shared with Mr. Sean. Rebecca told me the second week of the Broadway camp they were learning music and the instructor asked a question about the key signature. Rebecca answered to their surprise and came home absolutely elated that all that music theory Mr. Sean makes her do (that she complains about) enabled her to answer!!! That is part of my deep appreciation for the quality of your school!!
