YOUNG PERFORMERS RECITALS

RULES GOVERNING YOUNG PERFORMERS RECITALS

1. To form a recital, the suggested minimum number of students is 15 (number of students may be left to the discretion of the recital chairperson), with a maximum recital time of one hour.

2. Each teacher may enter up to four students, with two students in each recital.  Teachers may specify on the entry from the recital time each student prefers. "Either" may be written to give more flexibility.  If there are only enough entries for one recital, a teacher may have four students in the same recital.

3. It is suggested that recitals be held at 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM  on Sundays.  If there are only enough entries for one recital, it may be held at 2:30 PM.  However, these times can be changed at the discretion of the recital chairperson.

4. Performance time is limited to five minutes per student.  When filling out the entry form, each teacher must be as accurate as possible on the time for each piece in order to estimate recital length.  Each student may perform only one piece.  However, that may be two short movements from the same work or a set of two short pieces as long as the total time does not exceed five minutes.

5. All information must be submitted to the recital chairperson no later than 10 days before the recital.  No phone entries, please.  Entries may be submitted via regular mail or email, but need to be received by the deadline.

6. Solo pieces must be memorized.  Duet and other ensemble pieces may be played with music.  In concerto movements the accompanist may use music, but the soloist should perform from memory.

7. Recital programs shall be printed identifying the student, the piece, the composer, and the teacher.

8. Teachers should not enter students if they are not able to attend the recital (precluding unexpected illness or emergency). If a teacher does have to be absent from the recital, it is that teacher's responsibility to find a ‘substitute' teacher from within the CCMTA membership to take her place.  

9. On the day of the recital each teacher should bring 2 dozen cookies on an attractive serving tray.  Each teacher will be given a blue ribbon or certificate at the recital to fill out for each student and present at the end of the program.

10. NO FLASH PICTURES DURING PERFORMANCE.  Parents may take pictures after the recital.  All cell phones and pagers must be turned off or on silent.

11. BABIES & RESTLESS CHILDREN may be taken away from the recital area to a quiet place.

12. Encourage all students & families to stay for the ENTIRE RECITAL.  If leaving is unavoidable, please advise student and family to sit toward the back and leave discreetly between performers.

13. Please do not bring refreshments into the recital area. 

14. No seating in the first row.

15.  We would like to make the recitals relaxed and friendly, however, we want to encourage GOOD CONCERT ETIQUETTE, as this is an important part of the students' musical training.  These recitals represent the Clark County Chapter of Music Teachers National Association to the public.  A high degree of professionalism should be maintained.
