Events and Opportunities

Performance Classes: We offer group classes before the big studio recitals where students learn how to perform, listen, and act during a concert.

 

Themed Recitals: We always look forward to our smaller, themed recitals, to allow students more opportunities to perform. We do several themed events throughout the year, including a Halloween, Christmas, Passport, Spring, and Zoo-themed recitals; individual teachers sometimes also choose a theme for their students and celebrate with a recital.

 

Masterclasses: This offers a chance for qualified students to perform in front of a different teacher and receive feedback on their performance in front of an audience; a great way both to showcase students and observe different teaching styles.

 

Student Achievement Juries: Students have a chance to play in front of highly qualified judges and receive written comments about their performances.

 

Music Game Nights: These evening events at the studio help students reinforce concepts they're learning in their lessons through music themed games, Opal Bucks, and a Music Math general store.

 

Outside Performing Opportunities: Opal partners with local community groups like ArtSpire and Hooray for Books to give our students a chance to perform in other venues in Alexandria. We also have Notes for Hope, a student-led program that brings Opal musicians to retirement communities in Alexandria.
