Our upcoming student recitals are more than just a performance—they’re a celebration of growth, confidence, and creativity. For our students, participating in a recital is an exciting opportunity to showcase the hard work they’ve put into their lessons. It’s a chance to shine in front of family and friends, and that sense of accomplishment is something they carry with them long after the final note is played.

Performing in a recital builds confidence in a powerful way. Standing on stage and sharing music with an audience teaches students how to manage nerves, focus under pressure, and believe in their abilities. These are life skills that extend far beyond music—they help students succeed in school presentations, sports, and future job interviews.

Recitals also provide motivation. Knowing they’ll be performing encourages students to practice more consistently and set goals. It helps them understand the value of preparation and the reward that comes from hard work. And when they finally step on stage, the applause they receive reinforces that their efforts truly matter.

Best of all, recitals are fun! The excitement in the air, the joy of making music, and the support of fellow students create an unforgettable experience. Many of our students walk away from their performance already excited for the next one. Whether they’re just starting out or have been playing for years, every student leaves the stage with a sense of pride.

We’re incredibly proud of our performers and can’t wait to see them take the stage. Their courage and dedication inspire us all. So mark your calendars, bring your applause, and come support these amazing young musicians as they share their music and hearts with the world. It’s going to be a wonderful event you won’t want to miss!

June 27th, 28th, and 29th at the Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center in Post Falls.

Happy Music Making!  Dawn Elmer, Academy Director
