What to expect on the day

If you’re playing

Sign up with your teacher a month before. Pieces are two or three minutes, chosen together.

Dress rehearsal on the stage the Thursday before, 4–7 pm, so the hall isn’t new on the day.

Arrive by 1:30. Performers sit together in the front rows with their teachers.

Memorizing is never required. Music on a stand is fine for every age.

If you’re watching

Free, no tickets. Bring grandparents, neighbors and anyone who’s heard the practicing.

Belmont Street Hall is step‑free, with an accessible restroom and reserved seats at the front.

Come and go between pieces. Small children are welcome, and so is the noise they make.

Photos are fine without flash. We post the full recording for families a week later.
