Music students will perform an honors recital at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the auditorium of McAllister Fine Arts Center.
An honors recital is performed every spring semester by music students who have demonstrated progress in private teaching lessons.
"Private lesson students will be given a chance to perform individually and exhibit showmanship," vocal sophomore Sarah Arce said.
Auditions for the recital were Tuesday in McAllister Fine Arts Center.
The goal was to select 10 to 12 students who will perform compositions they learned in their private lessons.
"This is a kind of honor roll for music students," Arce said.
The music department offers private lessons in trumpet/cornet, horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, guitar, electric bass, harp, organ, percussion, piano, violin, viola, violoncello, double bass, voice, flute, clarinet, bassoon, oboe and saxophone.
Private lessons enable music students to get the one-on-one teaching that can't be found in a classroom setting.
Music professors teach one to eight private lesson music students a day. The students have lessons for two hours a week and get two semester hours for the private class.
Music students seeking private lessons need to meet with appropriate staff including the music chair and requested music teacher. Placement in private lessons is determined by the student's technical skills, knowledge of musical notation, sight-reading ability, and skill ability on the instrument, Chair Jessica Howard said.
"There will be a variety of a whole lot of instruments from voice to electric bass, violin, piano and more," Howard said.
The students selected will have their names inscribed in a plaque on a wall in McCreless.
The event is open to the public and free. For more information, call 733-2731.
