The week of your recital
Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water!
Remind collaborative pianists, assisting musicians, and professors of your hall rehearsal time(s). Do a final social media push, and remind friends/family of your recital! If you haven't already, make post-recital reception plans. Check to see that your recital programs have arrived in the office.
The day of your recital
Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water! The Music Building opens at 12:00 noon on most weekends, plan ahead if you have an early recital time. You may enter the hall 30 minutes prior to your recital time. Greet event staff before your recital, and discuss your set-up needs.
After your recital
Instrumental and Choral BME or BA/BS degree students must complete the
Instrumental or
Vocal Solo Performance Requirement Form as documentation of their successful completion of the solo performance requirement. Forms are found on the School of Music web site under
