Spring Recital 2021 - Online Zoom Meeting
2021-04-17 - 2021-04-18 | Online Zoom Meeting
Students, you are invited to join the Creative Keys Spring Recital which will be held on the weekend of April 17th and 18th virtually over Zoom!
Please plan to record a video of your performance at home or at your lesson and send the file to Creative Keys. We will then compile student videos into a showcase for your performance time. On your performance date and time, students, teachers, family, and friends will get together over Zoom for a “watch party” – you can invite as many family members and friends as you’d like to join in the fun! Our Director, Hayley Fair, will emcee the event. It’s wonderful to hear everyone’s applause as we recognize students for a job well done! After the performance, the recitals will be uploaded to the Creative Keys YouTube channel so you can watch again and share as you wish.
Students, we encourage you to make a goal of performing 1 or 2 pieces and dress your best for your performance. It’s a good idea to introduce yourself and the titles of the piece(s) you’re playing, as well as thank the audience for listening at the end (verbal thank you and/or bow/curtsey). After you sign up on SignUp Genius, you will receive instructions on how to submit your video, including tips for a quality recording, a Dropbox link, and a deadline for video submission. Closer to the performance date (approximately 5-7 days) you will receive a Zoom invitation which can be shared privately with family and friends.
We look forward to seeing everyone for another fun weekend of performances!
