1. What kinds of services does Play Out offer in addition to family concerts?

Play Out is excited to work with students and young artists who are preparing for a career in music, and looking to improve or expand their skills in:

• Speaking and engaging with audiences from the stage

• Creating a personalized connection with their repertoire, and expressing this connection with audiences 

• Learning about the elements that create a successful interactive performance

• Curating musical programs and considering how to present them to audiences in different settings (ie schools, adult facilities, hospitals, etc)
  

2. Can Play Out customize a program for a school event?

Absolutely! 

Play Out is experienced with classroom and school assembly environments of all ages, and we create engaging programs that are full of teachable moments. Play Out is especially excited to partner with educators that share curriculums and academic units of study in advance. This allows us to create a program directly relevant to what is happening in the classroom. 

Some examples include (but are not limited to): the elements of storytelling, how elements of music relate to math and physics, and emotional intelligence. 

3. Can I consult with Play Out to create my own family concert?

Yes!

Play Out is thrilled to consult with other organizations that are looking to create a series from scratch, or refresh their own approach to family concerts. 

There are so many details that can help create a positive and fulfilling experience for both young people and their caretakers alike. In turn, these experiences can add up and help in creating lifelong music lovers. Play Out wants to talk to you about how to design the optimal family concert experience within your organization’s budget.
