At least in my case and I imagine in a lot of others. Just out of curiosity, I went through and counted the recitals scheduled for the month of April just in our primary student recital hall: 21 for voice & various other instruments and 17 for piano, at least half or so are at the Master's or DMA level, one using both 'D's. That's in addition to a few Masterclasses and all the dress rehersals. There are also 10-11 hrs. use per week for the piano teachers' studio classes. And are 3 weekend days not booked at all because of Easter! So I think ours are used just "little" more than 3 hrs. a week for performances. :-) Avery ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
