Showcase Details
Preparation Program
During all of your lessons leading up to the Performance Showcase, you'll be working with your teacher to polish 1 - 2 songs. They'll also provide you with guidance on creating sheet music for other musicians.
You'll also attend a rehearsal with professional musicians, during which you'll practice your songs a few times, go over your sheet music, and prepare for the performance.
Please note: Because participation requires that your teacher works with you on developing your repertoire leading up to your performance, teacher permission is required to participate in this program.
Performance Times
The Showcase takes place over a 2 hour period; please plan to attend the entire show.
We'll assign you a specific performance timeslot within the showcase depending on the songs you're performing, instrument you're playing, and your accompaniment requirements.
Teachers
You will be accompanied by professional musicians, which will likely be teachers from the school, who may or may not be your teacher. We'll invite all teachers to attend the performance, but they are not required.

There is a $100 registration fee, which includes:
- (1) 30-minute rehearsal with up to 2 professional musicians
- (1) 10-minute performance slot, during which you may perform up to 2 songs
- A professionally-recorded audio CD of the entire performance showcase, available for you at your next scheduled lesson following the showcase
