Night At The Movies Recital 2026

Date: Sunday, May 3rd, 2026

Time: 1-2PM, 2-3PM, 3-4PM, 4-5PM

Timeslot for each performer will be confirmed March 15th

All students are required to come at least 10 minutes early to get seated and be prepared. We will be starting the performances right at the start time and if you arrive later your child may not be able to perform.

Location: 4221 E Chandler Blvd Suite 120 (Alexa's Piano Lessons building)

Dress code: We encourage our performers (and audience members) to dress as characters from any movie to match the theme! This is your time to get creative! Generally for our specialized themes majority of students will match the theme.

Otherwise, semi-formal wear (what you would wear to Sunday church).

What to wear: dresses, collared shirts, dress pants, dress shoes

What to NOT wear: casual shirts, jeans, leggings, flip flops, crop tops, etc.

Recital fees: $5 per performer

There won't be any refunds given out if the student is unable to attend. Recital fees cover the costs of seating, refreshments, awards, and sheet music given to students.

During the recital: The students each will be performing 1-2 themed songs/pieces memorized. We will be prioritizing quality over quantity when it comes to the student's performances. We make sure the student can perfect their first piece (memorized) before starting a second one.

Photo release: any students attending to perform must agree to the photo release to share on our social media and website. We will be taking a group photo, photos of students performing on stage, and pictures of the audience (examples below).

We require that students performing to stay until the end of the recital. That way the performers at the end have the same audience as the beginning.

For those who are unable to attend live (friends or family out of state), we will be recording the entire performance and upload the footage on YouTube as a private video to rewatch or send!

Night At the Movies Pre-Recital Piano Camp

The perfect camp for the first-time performer or students who want extra confidence before the recital, or simply wants reinforcement in piano playing. We'll be playing movie music as a group, playing note-reading and rhythm activities, and a practice performance on the same recital stage.

This camp will be 3 hours and will give students the confidence they need to be ready to perform the next week. Camp sign-ups can be made with the recital sign-up page (below).
