Recitals

Salt Creek Music Teachers Association offers member’s students the opportunity to perform in recitals throughout the year. We usually offer three opportunities, 1 in Fall and 2 in the Winter-Spring season. Memorization of pieces is required.  Dress code is Sunday best.

SCMTA members may also send students to any of the Joint West Suburban Chapter’s student recitals. Ask your teacher for information about this.

Salt Creek Music Teachers sponsor a Fall Festival of themed piano music every October.  Recitals are celebratory with each participant receiving a trophy and a group photo at the end of each recital.

Deadline for application is two weeks before each recital.      Please go to the Forms page for an application form. Please contact Lemi Yang (lemiyang[at]yahoo.com) for more details.

Recitals are held at Steinway of Chicago.
