Performance
Performance is an integral part of our curriculum. Preparing for a performance enables students to grow as
musicians, develops self–confidence and teaches students about achieving goals. Each semester, the
school offers many performance opportunities including
group classes, masterclasses with guest
musicians,
informal and formal recitals. Instructors help each student select appropriate performance
opportunities based on his or her readiness.  

In addition, The Piano Preparatory School offer opportunities to perform on
local club recitals and even
state and national scholarship competitions.
