Adults have the opportunity to perform in 2 informal recitals per year. The recitals are at my studio in Lakewood, Colorado. One recital is in early fall, the other in late spring. Attendance is not mandatory, but students are encouraged to participate, as it gives them the opportunity to see other adults that are also taking piano lessons. Recitals at Colorado's Alpine Piano Lessones are viewed as a support group, for all levels of playing. This is very important to many adults. Everybody has a great time, and the ability to socialize at the recitals really helps the adults to get to know each other. Many types of music are played at the recitals, which encourages people to try new styles of music.
