Performances
Concerts, AND Recitals!
Perform with professional musicians!
Here at Boulder Music we have the unique model of holding "concerts" And "recitals." The idea of a recital is to showcase the students improvement, and a concert is a more finessed full experience with hired full band and masterclasses! At Boulder Music, our students have different performance opportunities every month, from open mic nights, cafes, breweries, concert halls, retirement homes, and performance venues. Between 4-6 times a year, students receive the opportunity to have one of their prepared pieces accompanied by a full band filled with adult professional musicians on bass, drums, guitar, sequencer and piano. These musicians make ANYONE sound incredible, and they are there to support YOU!
This experience propels kids professionally, allowing for real recordings and live material to promote their musical journey. The largest benefit of these performances is that students learn to communicate in the professional world of music, while still being nurtured and supported in every way.

A GIFT OF SONG 2025
A Gift of Song Returns for Its Third Year
For the third year, A Gift of Song 2026 brings together Boulder Music students of varying ages and experience levels to create a collaborative holiday recording. Each singer has the opportunity to participate in a professional-style recording while contributing to a collective musical gift. The result is a warm, joyful collection that celebrates individual artistry and the power of community music-making.
“This project is about more than songs,” says Kari Kraakevik, founder and director of Boulder Music. “It’s about giving students the experience of being heard, of contributing something meaningful, and of learning that their voices—exactly as they are—have value.”
