Free student recitals in Mendota Heights, Minneapolis and St. Paul
Brighter Minds Music sponsors three performance opportunities for students throughout the year. These recitals provide a great opportunity to share music with others, and to experience musical progress. We have a variety of formal and informal performances, including sharing music for elders in our community at nursing and assisted living homes, coffee shop concerts, and staged recitals. For our students, these recitals are free. Unlike many other area music schools, families do not have to pay any admission costs or recital fees for their children to participate. Students also have opportunities to participate in national, state and local adjudicated events.
