One of the most important aspects of music education is having the opportunity to perform in front of an audience. Students are provided with motivation and a sense of accomplishment when they perform in front of their friends, family, and peers. These benefits are invaluable when you consider not only the experience they gain, but also the effect on a student's confidence and self-esteem. At Music Works, we give students several opportunities throughout the year to show off what they've learned. Many teachers arrange end-of-semester recitals for their individual studios, and also during the year are able to recommend their students for Music Works Student Showcases, in which specially selected students are invited to perform in a professional venue. These events are always free and open to friends and family to attend.
