Music Recitals

We we hold multiple 90-min sessions for each recital. You register for one of these sessions and then you should plan to attend the duration of your 90min recital session.

We host 60min sessions on a Sunday. When you checkout, you'll select which session you'd like to participate in. Out of respect for the other performers, please come prepared to attend the most of the recital session.

Your teacher will also guide you and help prepare you for a specific event. If you're not feeling prepared, don't worry, there are more performance opportunities just around the corner.

Ideally we want students to have put at least 2-3 months into their pieces before performing at the Hard Rock Cafe.

The sign-up link is at the top right of this page under recital registration.

Our recitals are a motivating experience for all ages.

Kids as young as 5 as well as adults are welcome to perform at all of our recitals.
We've also created adult only open mics to create a more supportive environment.

Work with your teacher to find the events that are the best fit for you.

We encourage all of our teachers to attend and compensate them for doing so. Most of them do when they are available. With siblings taking lessons from different teachers, it is impossible to coordinate everyone to be present at the same time.

We recommend playing 1 or 2 songs, with a maximum of 5 minutes for your performance. If there is time at the end, we will invite students to play additional songs if they'd like, but space is limited.

Yes! The Hard Rock Cafe has great food and drinks.

Please help support them by coming hungry. They'll have extra staff on hand to help accommodate our needs.

No tickets required! There is no charge to come be a member of the audience.

Performers register and pay through our website. (Link at the top right side of this page).

We will be taking pictures and occasionally we film when possible for the waiting room TV.

We strongly recommend that you bring your own gear to get great photos and videos of the performance.

If you haven't already, please fill out our Media Release Form.

The stage is not scary -- it's about 6 inches tall and easy to get up to.

There will be a brief introduction, and then everyone that is playing during that session will line up by the back of the stage to perform their song. At the end of the recital, there will be a group photo in the back of the room. This will also help the next recital find seating in the front.

A sound man will help setup microphones and someone will announce the next performer on the microphone. A teacher will help students setup their music and instruments.

We'll have music stands, amps and an electric upright piano for students to use.

Here's what you'll need to bring:

• All students - your music, just in case you get nervous and forget it
• Guitar students - your own guitar and cable
• Violin students - your violin
• Drum students - your own sticks
• A great costume

To help you have fun, we'd like to encourage you to bring/wear a silly hat/wig or cool glasses. Wear something fun and cool that will help you step our of your shell, relax, have fun and just be yourself!

You're going to do great! There's no pressure to be perfect. Many people will be trying out new songs and making lots of mistakes. Try to look at this recital as practice for being in front of people.
