Performance Etiquette

Recitals are a good learning experience for the performers as well as the listeners! Here are some tips on being a good attendee and performer:

This venue will be very chill. There will be space for attendees to stand and maybe limited seating around. There will be a bit of movement and noise about as we will be in a public space.
Performers, please state your name and the title of your piece before performing. Please bow after your performance.
Performers are encouraged to dress appropriately, comfortably, and in a way that expresses the mood and style of their piece. (Example, an outfit with more "attitude" may fit a rock song performance.)
Please silence your phone.
You can read this article for more detailed tips (it will be catered towards more formal performances).
Photos and videos are a great way to capture memories! Tag #ampedschoolofmusic for social media!
