Dear Families,

 

As we are preparing for several performances in the coming weeks, my thoughts are full of the value of performing onstage.

 

Performance is an important goal toward which all of our hard work in music and theater class is aimed. The anticipation of our next performance keeps us interested and focused, and inspires us to improve. It puts our long hours of practice into perspective and gives us the opportunity to share what we have learned with others. The performance provides an opportunity for our parents to see the student body in its entirety and to witness their child's progress within the larger context of other classes. It provides an outlet for the student to shine, and gives focus for the classwork. It is also a social occasion that brings parents and families together and encourages feelings of mutual support and pride. 

 

Performing can be a wonderful experience, but at the same time, it can be 

scary, especially for first timers. Our commitment at Conservatory Lab is to ensure that the experience is as good as possible for everyone concerned. Patience, encouragement, and support on all sides is important. Practice makes perfect, and performing isn't any different. The more one does it, the more relaxed one will become on stage or in front of other people.

 

Ultimately, the confidence you gain from performing will spill over into other areas of your life... sometimes in ways that you don't even realize! 

Performing teaches confidence, the ability to work under pressure, think 

quickly, and the importance of team work. 

 

We are proud of all our "performers".

  

Have a wonderful weekend.

 

 

 

 

Warmly,
