Performance Day is an opportunity for piano students of GCMTA teachers to play “background music” in an authentic setting. Students will provide music for the enjoyment of others.

  • Only students of GCMTA teachers may perform.
  • Each student may play up to 2 songs/pieces.
  • All students must be prepared to play as well as possible. Memorization is not required.
  • Duets and trios are encouraged. Teachers may participate on these.
  • Younger children are welcome to participate with close supervision.

Registration:

Teachers may sign up for 30 minute slots and will submit a list of students to play for their scheduled slot two weeks in advance of the event.

  • The fee for student performers is $10 per student. Teachers do not have to pay to perform.
  • If the teacher has over estimated their students performances,  the teacher should have music prepared for the remainder of the time.
  • Teachers will submit one personal check to GCMTA for all their performing students when they submit their list of student names.

The Day of the Event:

  • Teachers and students are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to their performance time so that transitions will be smooth

  • No student may play who has not paid or is not on the teacher’s list.

  •  The teacher will  sit near the piano during his/her time slot to monitor the instrument and encourage their students. Teachers shall not engage in discussions during scheduled performances.

  • Please bring a printed program of your students “line-up” so that it can be posted on the easel which will be on display next to the performance area. There will also be an area where you can display business cards during your students’ performances.

  • AFTER your students have played,  each teacher shall remain one additional hour to oversee the event.  Two teachers should be there at all times.

We are guests at the Performance Day venue. Please be respectful in all ways to employees. AND REMEMBER, Performance Day is about having FUN! Keep this in mind during the entire event! Remind students that this kind of performance is background music and not a formal recital.
