Guidelines for Preparing your Program for Printing

The process of preparing and presenting data for your recital, while it may seem trivial, is actually an integral part of the educational process. In researching the exact titles and dates of your recital music, you will no doubt gather a great deal of new information that will inform your performance. What author wrote the text for my songs? From what opera does this aria come? What is the opus number for the concerto I'm playing? Answers to these questions will help you to better understand the context of your music (historical, textual, etc.), and should thus inspire a more meaningful performance.

Creating programs with a uniform appearance also supports the department's mission of maintaining excellence in performance protocol. Just as your hours of practicing and composing allow you to communicate your music effectively, your hours preparing your program allow you to communicate information effectively. Your assistance in this process plays an important part in connecting with our valued patrons: family, friends, and members of the community.

We ask that you use the template posted on this page in preparing your program. Should you have questions about the content in the electronic or hard copy version of these instructions, please do not hesitate to contact John Spivey, Computer/Audio Manager, jspivey@towson.edu
