April 6, 2024 – 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:00, 1:30 – Grace Chapel at White’s Chapel Methodist Church, Southlake

Registration deadline:  March 23, 2024

Chair – March Recital:  Maria McLean

We look forward to an exciting year of recitals, whether your students are preparing for competitions and festivals, or if they just need experience playing in public. We want them to have the chance to do both at our recitals. All students under the supervision of any Mid Cities Music Teachers Association Teacher can participate in our recitals.

Please email the following information to the recital chair by the deadline shown above:

• Student’s first and last names – double check all spellings
• Titles of the piece (include movement or opus numbers)
• Names of Composers
• Student’s Age
• Level of piece
• Desired recital time (10:30, 11:30, 12:30 or 1:30 – 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, 4th choice)

Please understand that these recitals are shared with other teachers. We will do our best to accommodate each request, but please be flexible! Any information received after the deadline date cannot be added to the programs. Please submit all names of possible participants early. It is easier to delete a name from a program before a recital than it is to add more names at the last minute.
