Today is recital day at S Music Studio

This is the room where I teach and we hold our recitals

RECITAL TIME!!

Recitals are always fun at S Music Studio.  I turn my great room into a concert hall by adding enough seating for 50 and unfortunately the rest have to stand.  I am expecting at least 80 to 100 people today, and another 50 tomorrow night.  All the students have practiced, teachers have helped them polish their pieces and now it's  show time

I try and make recitals interesting and different from other studios.  In the past we have gone to 2 different local restaurants and did a "gig".  The kids entertained while the families enjoyed their dinner.  That was lots of fun for everyone.

This coming fall I am planning on doing a country hoe down.  My studio, which is also my home is on a farm.  Every year we do hayrides, complete with bonfire, hot dogs and s'mores for our church youth group.  For the fall recital I am going to turn my husband's flatbed trailer into a stage complete with sound system and keyboard. While everyone is eating, sitting around the fire and riding on the hay wagon, our 75 plus students can perform on the outdoor stage.  I'm getting excited just thinking about it.  I think it will be a real hit!

The horses are going to love the music!!

This is Sebastian.  He is such a sweetie!!
