This year our chapter's holiday recital will be online! This means you will record your performance, send it to us, and we will edit it into a video that premiere's on Youtube! Not only will you get practice performing, you will get practice recording, which is part of every musician's life!
The recital will be live via a "Premier" which will air on December 17th, 2022 at 4:00 pm. If we have many submissions, there will be a time stamp so you can just watch your teacher's students. The recital will air live for the duration of the recital (no rewinding will be possible) but will remain on the YouTube channel publicly, indefinitely, after it airs.
After the recital, you can send it to family and friends, and spread some holiday cheer!
We have a student limit of 30 for this recital. First come, first served, so sign up as soon as the registration opens!
Teachers if you have three or more students, I will need you to submit a small video introduction of your studio, and share it on google drive with tacomawsmta@gmail.com.
Registration will open November 2nd. There will be a deadline to submit performance videos by December 9th by 8 pm.
