Music is to be memorized. A CD will be made for you to keep and we will listen to your performance and analyze in the lesson following the performance.
This is not an optional event unless you had a prior commitment before this date was set which I needed to know when the date was originally set . Students who love to sing and learn never want to miss this even though they do have to be a bit more ‘under the gun’ to perform. This is a great venue to try out new pieces. Also, this experience is for each of you to grow and learn from your fellow students’ performances and also from their feedback . The Master Class has proven to be one of the most valuable tools of all…even above your lessons. 
For those new students who have only had a few lessons, I would like you to perform this time if possible. It is important to not only learn from the others but to become part a supportive member of our incredible musical family. They are really great human beings and a safe place for you to learn and gain self confidence.
Plan ahead for another wonderful opportunity to hone your skills and share your new music with others….. Linda
