Students, you are invited to join the Creative Keys Spring Recital

which will be held on the weekend of April 17th and 18th virtually over Zoom!

Please plan to record a video of your performance at home or at your lesson and send the file to Creative Keys. We will then compile student videos into a showcase for your performance time. On your performance date and time, students, teachers, family, and friends will get together over Zoom for a “watch party” – you can invite as many family members and friends as you’d like to join in the fun! Our Director, Hayley Fair, will emcee the event. It’s wonderful to hear everyone’s applause as we recognize students for a job well done! After the performance, the recitals will be uploaded to the Creative Keys YouTube channel so you can watch again and share as you wish.

Students, we encourage you to make a goal of performing 1 or 2 pieces and dress your best for your performance. It’s a good idea to introduce yourself and the titles of the piece(s) you’re playing, as well as thank the audience for listening at the end (verbal thank you and/or bow/curtsey). After you sign up on SignUp Genius, you will receive instructions on how to submit your video, including tips for a quality recording, a Dropbox link, and a deadline for video submission. Closer to the performance date (approximately 5-7 days) you will receive a Zoom invitation which can be shared privately with family and friends.

We look forward to seeing everyone for another fun weekend of performances!

Lead Instructor

KATE RAFALSKI

Read her bio online.

We’re all so very proud of Jasmine, our Creative Keys “Musician of the Month” for January 2021. She is an incredibly dedicated student who loves playing the piano. Jasmine’s piano instructor, Miss Deb, shared some words about her wonderful work ethic and energy   

“Frequently, a student’s dedication to practice decreases during their musical journey.  In Jasmine’s case, after two years of study, she is like the Energizer Bunny, “still going strong .”  She challenges herself by participating in recitals.  She nurtures herself by choosing and purchasing pieces that speak to her.  She not only listens to instructions, she takes notes and follows up at home.  For these reasons, I believe that Jasmine Vazquez should be recognized for her progress.”

Deb Judycki  –  Piano Instructor
