My Studio Recitals are mixed with Junior’s performance. However, it is another chance to perform before friends and parents, no matter which level you are.

SOLO RECITAL: Deborah Brown
You are welcome to perform your own Piano Solo Recital or share it with another Adult Student at the different venues of Atlanta Metro Area – Steinway Piano Gallery, England Piano, Southern Keyboards, Piano Works, Assistant Leaving Homes and Fundraising events.

PIANO DUETS: Saeka Hasegawa and Deborah Brown perform Piano Duets by Aram Chatschaturjan and Darius Milhaud at their recital.
You have a choice to play Piano Duets (on one or two pianos) as the most joyful and fulfilling one among music activities. Piano Duets do not require memorization and can sparkle a new friendship or develop the sense of teamwork.
The PIANO CONCERTO repertoire choice is another way to perform in collaboration — with your teacher, in this case.
