Creative Recital Ideas

The holiday season is an excellent time to find new ways to showcase your students. Here are just a few examples of unique performance opportunities:

1. Assisted Living Facilities. The residents will appreciate the opportunity to encourage and interact with your students. Students benefit from performing for strangers in a low-key environment.

2. Shopping Malls. Malls often welcome entertainment during this time. One local music organization owns a piano that is housed in an area mall. Teachers belonging to the organization schedule recitals on this piano and collect donations for a fundraiser.

3. Christmas Parties. Ask a few selected parents if they would be willing to host a Christmas party for some or all of your students and their families. Students could provide the entertainment and their families can bring the food.

More ideas, anyone?
