Monthly In-House Recitals:
Jammin Kids International Music Academy invites (put does not require) customers to
participate in monthly in-house recitals. These are normally held on a Saturday or Sunday
evening when we are closed to the public. Each month a different instrument and instructor are
featured. Teachers determine when their students are ready to perform. Students usually only
perform one (or two) songs that they already know quite well. Students are asked to introduce
themselves, as well as the song they are performing and are expected to bow when they are done.
Since space is limited, usually only immediate family attend. Parents like them because they are
free of charge, they get to see their child perform and it is easy to take photos & video. Students
like them because they are a great performance practice opportunity in an informal and
supportive environment. Teachers like them because they can showcase their student's progress
as well as that of more advanced students which can be a great motivator for others.
Refreshments are provided after the recital for families and instructors to have an opportunity to
mingle.
Annual Grand Recital:
Once a year, all of JK's instructors invite (but do not require) their students to participate
in the Grand Recital. This is a wonderful showcase of talent of a variety of instruments and
instructors. As performance time is more limited, teachers determine who is ready for the big
time! This event is organized by the age of the student, starting with the youngest to the oldest,
in hourly seatings. There is a nominal ticket price to offset the cost of the venue. Parents like
this event because there is room to invite extended family and they don't have to sit through
hours of recitals. Students like this event because they get to perform on a real stage and receive
metals or trophies. Since it is a semi-formal event, student's love to see their teachers all dressed
up and like to take photos with them. Teachers like this event because they can see the talent of
their colleagues students and someeven collaborate with other instructors & their students
(including some families) in ensemble performances.When students are exposed to their peers
performing on different instruments, this occasionally results in a new instrument of interest.
Refreshments are offered while families are waiting for their seating, or after their performance,
offering a wonderful opportunity to mingle with other instructors and families.
