Your name is how you are identified in the libraries' archives. Before your first recital, decide:

• Whether you will use your middle name or initial
• Whether you will use an abbreviated or familiar name

Be sure to include your instrument or voice type, or for composers and conductors, your role. Use standard names for describing your instrument. If you have a question, look in the libraries' catalog for assistance.

Include the correct name and the role of those who assist you.

Example:  Henry Runkles, piano

If the person performs all works in the recital, include them at the top of the program. If he/she assists you for a piece, put the name information below the work being performed.

The main page of your program notes should define the who, what, where and when of your concert or recital. This page shows tips for specific elements.

The title and subtitle of your recital often indicates the type of recital you are performing or the name of an ensemble.

For type of recital - you may wish to indicate instrument, honors - senior - or graduate recital.

Examples: Soprano Recital, Violin Studio Recital, Honors Trumpet Recital, Graduate Composition Recital, Senior Chamber Recital

Temporary ensemble names should be accompanied by a generic recital category such as Aeolian Winds (subtitle) A Woodwind Quintet Recital.

Always include the day and date of your recital as well as the recital location.
