Performance Classes
Performance Class is a great way to continue to progress by practicing how to perform your piece in front of an audience of other NMS Students! Led by an NMS Faculty Member, you will receive feedback on your repertoire and work on musicality, storytelling, performance protocols, practice strategies, how to battle nerves, and more. Performing in front of others is a critical skill to learn and master. It can help prepare you for recital opportunities, as well as your end of semester jury.
