Adult Student Pot Luck Recital
AMTA‘s Adult Student Potluck combines a relaxed recital experience along with the lively atmosphere of potluck dining.
Our Potluck will be held on Sunday, October 26th, 2:00 PM. Location is Bethany Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, 4500 E. Hampden Ave., Englewood, CO 80113.
Students are requested to bring the following potluck dish according to the first letter of their last name:
- A-L: Main Dish
- M-Z Dessert
Twice a year, the adult students gather on a weekend afternoon where they may visit with other adult students, make new friends, and when they feel ready, may choose to perform. Some less confident students may choose not to perform at all and that’s OK too. Eventually, however, they may change their mind once others have taken to the spotlight, and find they enjoy performing. Whatever the outcome, this opportunity is for the adult student to enjoy performing among other adults, as children grades K-12 will not be in attendance.
Contact Thayne Larsen, Chair,with number of students attending by Sunday, October 12th. Please remind your adult students that it’s best for young children to stay at home.
No Registration Required
The Amazing and Prestigious Achievement Day Event!!!
Aurora Music Teachers Association invites you to enjoy the activities of our 2025 Achievement Day
Achievement Day recognizes the incredible musical achievement of our students while providing a sense of accomplishment in a non-competitive environment. Students perform two selections for a teacher-listener who ascertains that the student has met the requirements for their chosen level. In addition to these songs, students complete a minimum of two optional activities, which may include a theory test, sight- reading, art project, original composition, and much more.
While attending Achievement Day, students also have the opportunity to perform in a recital, participate in the music game room for prizes, test their theory knowledge, and enjoy student artworks and projects.
Students wishing to achieve a higher level of performance are invited to register as a SUPER ACHIEVER.
Event Date: November 15, 2025
Event Location: LDS Dorado Church, 21750 E. Dorado Ave, Aurora, CO 80015
