What’s so special about this Holiday Newspaper Recital Program?

The Holiday Newspaper Recital Program includes everything you need for your recital. We’ve combed through dozens of vintage newspapers and ads to find vintage piano ads, letters to Santa that are sweet (and sometimes silly), and put them thoughtfully together so that your program looks just like a newspaper. You won’t find a template like this anywhere else on the web! Every last detail on these programs – from the “Compliments Heard on the Street” compliment cards to the detailed artwork, are meant to give the impression that you spent hours perfecting these endearing programs. In reality, all you have to do is type in your program details and hit “print”!

This, along with other designs in our Recital Program Template Packages include these wonderful elements:

• The text (even the title) is editable on every page except the compliment cards! You can call your program by any name because all the text is editable. Note: the Letters to Santa and ads are not editable. These are pulled from real newspapers, and are images instead of editable text.
• Horizontal AND vertical templates are included.
• Even if you have a lot of students, they’ll all fit on this program! There are two different designs for both a front and back on the vertical template, giving you the option for lots of room. The horizontal template includes even more room for your student names and pieces! If you’re using the Word or Pages documents (both are included!), you can also change the font size, remove spaces between performers, and adjust the line spacing to give more room for student names.
• A poster invitation for your studio, plus 4-up smaller invitations for passing out are also included.
• There are endearing Compliment Cards included that are designed to look like newspaper clippings – students can even hang these on their wall once they’ve received them, because they look just like a newspaper! The recital compliment exchange is used by so many teachers to boost motivation and excitement about recitals. Keep your audience listening and inspire your students at the same time.

What happens when you use a professional design?

Recitals are a wonderful time to reiterate to parents that you are a professional – not just in teaching, but in all areas of your studio! It’s important to be consistent in showing your excellence in your branding and recitals as well as in your teaching. When an audience sees a beautifully designed program, it communicates that you care not only about teaching well, but about creating beauty and excellence even down to the details. This can really help affirm to parents that you are a wonderful choice as a teacher for their child!

The Holiday Newspaper Recital Program Template Package not only saves you tons of time, but allows you to communicate that you care deeply about quality in all you do.
