Student Recital Program

The formal student recital program is a venue enabling students to perform and listen to other students in a formal setting.  The themed recitals are also formal and follow a theme.  Each student will receive a written critique and credit toward earning a ribbon (3 recitals), medal (6 recitals) or trophy (9 recitals).   The SPPTA recital program is non-competitive.

SPPTA invites teacher-members of all instruments and voice (no organ is available) to register their students in the recital program for solo, duo and small ensemble performances.
