Performance Party for Adults Success!

We had an awesome time at our “Evening Performance Party for Adults” on July 31st! Thank you, performers, for taking part in this fun event!

2nd Annual Composition Contest Results!

A big THANK YOU to all of our student composers! We were so impressed with all of the entries and hope that everyone had a great time composing. We can tell the students all worked hard and this activity surely helped them grow as musicians. All participants will be receiving a card with music pin. Below are the winners for each age category (prizes of music pins and Amazon gift cards):

CONGRATULATIONS!

Angelina is very dedicated to her music and enjoys learning more advanced techniques. Angelina looks forward to her lessons with James each week as he builds her confidence and provides challenges that continue to
improve her talent!

“Angelina is a wonderful student! She works steadily and intelligently and enthusiastically at whatever she is assigned. She courageously undertakes very challenging music, and works to perfect it. She has improved tremendously in the time I have known her. It is a great pleasure to teach
her Violin!” – James Shallenberger

We are all very proud!
Great job, Angelina!

“I love playing the piano, and I believe Ms. Pam is a great teacher who has made me the pianist I am today.” – Luke

“Luke has grown so much as a pianist, it seems hard to believe it’s only been a few years since he was opening his first book and playing simple hymns for his family! He really dedicates himself to completing each assignment and always comes prepared. He now chooses his own pieces which are quite challenging and has performed in numerous recitals. Carry on, Luke, this award is well- deserved! ” – Pam Sigal

We are all very proud!
Awesome job, Luke!

PREFORMANCE IN THE PARK

We are excited to host an outdoor, Halloween-themed recital this Fall, with 2 dates to choose from!  The “Spooktacular Performance in the Park” event will take place at the amphitheater at R.E. Olds Park in Oldsmar, featuring a large stage for performers and a huge lawn area in front of the stage.

Students may perform 1 or 2 pieces with a total performance time not to exceed 3 minutes (exception: vocalists may perform 1 piece without time limit). Recitals will start every 75 minutes throughout the afternoon, so please exit the lawn area at the end of the performances so that the next group can set up (each recital time will take approximately 45 minutes).  

Time slots are limited to 16 students each so we recommend signing up quickly!  Students and family members are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes if they would like to.  We look forward to a fun, festive performance!

Please note:  Signup is limited to actively enrolled students only

VIRTUAL SHOWCASE

Students, you are invited to perform at the Creative Keys virtual “Spooktacular Student Showcase” with a live Zoom meeting on Saturday, October 23rd! Students will submit 1 or 2 recorded performances and videos will be edited and compiled into a showcase for each time slot. Students, please feel free to wear a costume in your performance video!

On the showcase date, students, teachers, family, and friends will meet together over Zoom for a watch party, where we will have live applause for each student (our Director, Hayley Fair, will emcee the event).

Please talk with your teacher about a plan for your performance and then sign up for a time slot on SignUp Genius. After you sign up, you will receive instructions on how to submit your video(s) and then 5-7 days before the event you’ll receive the Zoom information (feel free to privately share this with family and friends). Performances will be posted on YouTube a few days after the showcase so you can watch again and share. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Spooktacular Student Showcase!
