At a concert
What a concert is like
A concert is short and unhurried, in the studio, with chairs set out in rows.
Students play in plain dark clothes. Each group plays two or three pieces, and the studio recital is a few solos and duets for students who choose to play. After the music there is time to talk with the teachers.
Plain dark clothes, no costumes
Doors stay open for latecomers between pieces
