Why Local Performances Matter for Young Musicians in Temecula
Opportunities for RPM Studio Students to Shine at Country! Live at The Merc
One of the most powerful parts of studying music at RPM Studio (Rhonda Parish Music Studio) is the chance for students to step off the lesson bench and onto a real stage. Temecula is home to a vibrant arts community, and our musicians are proud to perform at local events like Country! Live at The Merc in Old Town Temecula. These opportunities give students more than applause. They gain confidence, stage experience, and the thrill of sharing their music with a live audience.

A Spotlight in Old Town Temecula: Country! Live at The Merc
If you’ve never been, Country! Live at The Merc is one of Temecula’s most charming and intimate music venues. The atmosphere is warm, the audience is supportive, and the stage is perfect for rising performers who want to experience what it feels like to entertain a room.
RPM Studio students have been invited to this stage many times over the years. For young vocalists, instrumentalists, and singer-songwriters, it’s an exciting milestone. Students can perform solos, duets, acoustic sets, or original songs they’ve developed in our songwriting workshops and private lessons.
We love watching our students stand under the lights, take a breath, and let everything they’ve learned come to life.
Why Performance Opportunities Are Essential for Music Students
Here at RPM Studio in Temecula, we believe performing is an important part of every musician’s journey. Lessons build skill. Performance builds confidence.
When students take the stage, they learn how to:
Apply vocal and instrumental technique in real-time
Communicate with an audience
Manage nerves and develop stage presence
Showcase the creativity they’ve worked so hard to build
Grow into well-rounded musicians ready for future opportunities
Our instructors consistently see a major leap in ability after students perform publicly. The experience brings energy, excitement, and a deeper love for music.
