  • Where are CSM Recitals held?

    Our multi-instrumental recitals are hosted at St. Barnabas Church in Montgomery, inside their sanctuary with gorgeous acoustics and a beautiful grand piano and stage area for other instrumentalists to perform. The address is below:

    • St. Barnabas Church in Montgomery

  • Where is the CSM Drummers Showcase held?

    Our Drummers Showcase is a unique and fun event for our drum students, held at our Anderson location, which we transform into a fun music venue for this event. The address for our Anderson location is below:

    • Anderson Location

    • 8315 Beechmont Ave 45255

  • How do I sign up for a recital?

    Parents or adult students can sign up using their Opus1 portal during the available sign-up period. Teachers can also sign up their students after you both discuss the recital opportunity. Please ask your teacher if you are interested, and they will give you guidance. Students MUST be approved by their teacher before they are allowed to sign up. If you are not quite ready yet, no worries! The next recital is right around the corner.

  • Do you offer virtual recitals?

    We are still doing virtual recitals on the same recital dates. To participate, students record their recital song or piece ahead of time and then share it on their social media page on the recital date with the hashtag #csmvirtualrecital. On Facebook and Instagram, you can just tag our pages.

  • Who can sign up for these recitals?

    In-Person Recital signups are open for students who have taken more than 6 months of lessons. Students should be at a point in their studies where they can successfully and confidently perform a piece or song in order to be ready for an in-person recital.

  • For Drum Students

    We host a special Drummer Showcase annually for our drum students only.

  • For Beginning Students

    If your child has not taken lessons for long enough to participate in the in-person recital or they are not yet ready to perform in front of an audience, parents and students can still post a prepared video of their performance on Facebook and Instagram. Participating virtually with a prepared video performance is a great way for new beginning students to dip their toes into performing, and it can be a helpful stepping stone towards performing in front of a live audience in the future.

  • Recital Fees:

    The in-person recitals have a $20 fee per performer, while the virtual recitals are free to participate in. If you need a staff pianist to accompany you during your performance, there will be a separate accompanist fee, in addition to the $20 recital participation fee. The entirety of the accompanist fee goes towards paying the accompanist. You also have the option to use a recorded track for accompaniment, which is no charge.

  • Recital Spaces are limited and first-come-first-served, so for those who are unable to make it or sign up for the in-person recital, parents and students can still post a video of their performances on Facebook and Instagram as we have been doing for our previous virtual recitals.
