This past weekend concluded a three-weekend run of Silent Film Recitals I hosted for my piano students, and let me tell you — it was such a fun project to organize! I really enjoyed this as an opportunity for my students and myself to try a performance event different from a typical piano recital and learn about the historic art form of silent film accompaniment.

As promised, today I am sharing a NEW free recital program template. I created this recital program for my 2023 student recitals and I’m happy to pass it along as template for use for YOUR student recitals!
Side note: Did you know this is now the SIXTH free recital program template available on my blog? The other five can be found on the Printables > Other Resources page by scrolling down to the Ps for “Piano Recital Program Template.” Of the templates I’ve shared so far, this is the first one that is in a foldable booklet format.
The artwork featured in this recital program template was drawn by yours truly using my iPad and Apple Pencil. I designed the rest of the program in Microsoft Word.
Continue reading “Piano Recital Program Template #6”Yes, you read that title correctly! Recitals, plural. 🙂 My piano studio is currently comprised of about half-and-half Michigan and Ohio students — the former being longtime students I began teaching online since relocating to Ann Arbor at the end of 2019. So, I held two Spring Recitals this month — one in my backyard, and one at a park in Ohio (an hour’s drive away for me).
Until last year, I had never held a studio recital outdoors. Now that I’ve done it, I want to keep doing more!
I called our recital “Keys in the Breeze.” Most of the piece titles on the program were centered around a nature theme. It’s the first time I’ve attempted a themed recital, so I wanted to choose an easy theme. My students and I discovered that most method books or repertoire collections tend to have at least one piece that fits a nature theme, whether it be a piece related to weather, an animal, a flower, the seasons, or the outdoors.
My students and I are currently preparing pieces for our Spring Recital. I like to schedule my recital early (March or April), to avoid the busy end-of-the-year season.
This year, I decided to design some simple recital invitations for students to share with family and friends. I printed these myself on cardstock paper.
I also designed a matching recital program that I will use that day.
Feel free to download the Microsoft Word template for the invitations/program design and use them yourself this year. All you have to do is edit the text and add your own studio name/logo. You recommend printing onto nice, heavy paper in the color of your choice.
