Okemos Music Academy Receives 2021 Best of Okemos Award!
We are very honored to have received this award and want to thank our Okemos Music Academy families, staff, teachers, and most importantly, our amazing students!
We are excited to announce
"Okemos Music Academy's In-Home Spring Recitals"!
It's very simple, here's how it works:
Every current student is welcome to prepare a recital piece, with the help of your teacher, to be performed in your home at your convenience!
We recommend that you dress nicely, invite any family, friends, neighbors, etc. to attend the performance, and treat it as if it's a live recital.
Have a family member record the performance on a phone, tablet, etc.
We suggest the audience give rousing applause as the performer bows and is presented with flowers, candy, etc.
Record as many takes as necessary and send us your favorite by uploading the recording as a file to our Google Drive folder.
You will be sent a separate email granting you access to upload your videos to our Google Drive folder.
We'll post the performances on a private Facebook page entitled "Okemos Music Academy's 2021 In-Home Spring Recitals" which can be viewed beginning June 5th!
(Note: The subject on the email for the invite to the Facebook page will be 'John Dewey Invited You to Join Okemos Music Academy's 2021 In-Home Spring Recital Group')
If you have any questions please contact Beth at Okemos Music Academy, she is available Monday-Friday after 3:00 pm.
Good luck to everyone and have fun!
We can't wait to see your performances!!
