When I taught, we had a couple of recitals at the church (the bishop said it was okay as long as it wasn't in the chapel) and I did some things to make it more appealing - like hung white lights around and fake plants and dimmed the lights, etc. It worked for me because it was free. If you make people dress up, it's always more fancy too. I'm excited for you!cate createhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366188290913269040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554548044763272116.post-4882809233934377072008-03-07T15:10:00.000-08:002008-03-07T15:10:00.000-08:00I can't offer any suggestions; sorry,I guess you b...I can't offer any suggestions; sorry,<BR/><BR/>I guess you better stock up on your new favorite candy....goddessdivinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649750585495782767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554548044763272116.post-37917870233780505562008-03-07T12:17:00.000-08:002008-03-07T12:17:00.000-08:00Love the new header, you supercool person, you!Love the new header, you supercool person, you!tharkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959419902975113806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554548044763272116.post-14323902698060797262008-03-07T09:57:00.000-08:002008-03-07T09:57:00.000-08:00I didn't know you taught piano!

I imagine you have to rent it (maybe you don't? -- I don't know!). But, it's nice because it's a room set up for that, you can just go and use it and then be done. Have you checked around piano stores, etc. to see if anything like that is available?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470683692371535117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554548044763272116.post-48477495951265745982008-03-07T09:20:00.000-08:002008-03-07T09:20:00.000-08:00Good luck deciding on where to do a piano recital....Good luck deciding on where to do a piano recital.

My mom used to teach and she had to rent a community church's room. When I was part of the local homeschooling group a few years ago the church made an announcement that the buildings couldn't be used to host their activities anymore. I don't know the rules regarding piano recitals, though.Shaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12854126432564431357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554548044763272116.post-52915410311577530072008-03-07T08:37:00.000-08:002008-03-07T08:37:00.000-08:00You guys are awesome.... this is exactly what I ne...You guys are awesome.... this is exactly what I needed- IDEAS!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079751153406018476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4554548044763272116.post-76922329741145660352008-03-07T00:03:00.000-08:002008-03-07T00:03:00.000-08:00I was going to suggest a retirement home and then ...I was going to suggest a retirement home and then saw that Sarah beat me to it.
