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.
Registration Details: Please visit the SPPTA Handbook for guidelines.
