It’s no secret…we believe music is meant to be shared! This is why you will find a multitude of performance opportunities at CAM. Every concert allows us an opportunity to celebrate your achievements. Students, we encourage you to speak with your teacher to determine which performances will be best for you. Here are a few details about some of the opportunities coming up this year.
Masquerade Musicale
This annual event is a favorite among our students! Think of it as a Halloween concert, trick or treating, and student appreciation event all wrapped up in one. You’ll find students decked out in their Halloween costumes playing games, scoring some seriously sweet candy, and performing in the musicale. Mark your calendars for October 13th. You don’t want to miss it!
Bring a Friend Week
Performing doesn’t always mean playing in front of a large audience. During our Bring a Friend Week, November 11-17, you’ll be able to perform for one of your buddies! We’ll have some shakers, drums, and other instruments in case your buddy wants to play along. Of course there’s always goodie bags for you and your friend, too!
Winter Concerts
On December 1st and 2nd we will have our first formal recitals of the year. Students come dressed in their finest for these festival holiday concerts.
Disney Dreams
Who doesn’t love the magical music of Disney? In this casual performance scheduled for January 12th, students will play or sing their favorites from Disney. Will you go old school with “Under the Sea” or perform something from one of the upcoming sure to be hits, “Wreck it Ralph 2,” or “Toy Story 4?”
NFMC Music Festival
Each February many CAM students perform at the National Federation of Music Clubs Festival. Each student performs two pieces before a judge and receives written feedback. A rating is also given which indicates a certain number of points. Students receive trophies at our Spring Recitals as they reach milestones (every 15 points) in the NFMC Festival.
Spring Concerts
Like our Winter Concerts, these Spring performances are formal. We look forward to these with great anticipation as this is also the time of year we present awards for various student achievements! Mark your calendars for our Spring Concerts to be held May 4th and 5th.
Totally 80’s
Another favorite during the year is our radical Totally 80’s concert. Students, teachers, (and some really good sport parents) dress up in their leg warmers, popped collars, and best 80’s garb for this fun concert on June 1st.
Sweet Sounds of Summer
Students need goals to work towards all year long, and our Sweet Sounds of Summer concert gives them a great summertime goal. At this casual August concert we also have an ice cream bar!
Music Adventures Celebration Days
In the winter and spring our Music Adventures class students have parties with their Adventures friends. They perform for each other and their families, have cake, and are presented with awards.
Piano Artistry Events
CAM Piano Artistry students have a wealth of events each year. From solo and duet recitals to master classes and workshops, Artistry students stay on their toes and achieving their best.
This list doesn’t stop there! Additional events are added all throughout the year. Stay up to date on all CAM events through our newsletters and our Academic Calendar website page. We hope to see you at many of our events and performances this year!
