Audience Etiquette

These guidelines help you (and others) have the best experience.

1. DO turn off all electronic devices. These interfere with our sound system. 2. DO refrain from talking and making noise. Please move to the lobby if you must have a

conversation - but wait until the end of a song. 3. DO remain seated during the concert. Please do not move until the end of a song, unless you are

carrying an upset child out of the auditorium. 4. As parents of young children ourselves, we welcome families supporting our music students in

the audience and understand that the little ones can be unpredictable. DO feel free to utilize the area in the back of the auditorium if little ones need some room to move around or are restless.

5. DON’T bring food or drinks in the auditorium. Please eat or drink in the lobby. 6. DO applaud at appropriate times. Wait for the conductor to lower their hands - that is your cue to

applaud! 7. DO remain seated after your child’s portion of the concert is over. Please remain for the entire

concert - all students have worked hard and deserve an audience. Students will meet their parents after the conclusion of the concert.

Thank you, and enjoy the concert!

Why Music?

Music is a science

It is exact, specific; it demands exact acoustics. A conductor’s full score is a chart, a graph which indicates frequencies, intensities, volume changes, melody and harmony all at one and with the

most exact control of time to be performed by musicians.

Music is Mathematical It is rhythmically based on the subdivision of time into fractions which be done instantaneously,

not worked out on paper.

Music is a foreign language Most of the terms are in Italian, German, or French; and notation is certainly not English – but

a highly developed kind of shorthand that uses symbols to represent ideas. The semantics of music is the most complete and universal language. Also, many songs we study are from other

cultures.

Music is physical education It requires fantastic coordination of fingers, hands, arms, lip, cheek, and facial muscles, in

addition to extraordinary control of the diaphragmatic, back, stomach, and chest muscles, which respond instantly to the sound the ear hears and mind interprets.

Most of all, music is art.

It allows a human being to take all these dry, technically boring (but difficult) techniques and use them to create emotion. That is one thing science cannot duplicate: humanism, feeling,

emotion.

Thank you for supporting your child in the arts.
