In a street concert by one or more street musicians (or, in British English, buskers), often the public consists of people who happen to pass by. Such performers do not require payment, but do welcome it. See extended technique.Similarly other street artists may carry out street performances, e.g. performing acrobatics. The same applies in other public places.The word performance may also describe the way in which an actor(ess), or artiste in such a production performs. Or in a solo capacity; such as a mime artist, comedian, conjurer, etc. ]]''Performance'', as in What a performance! is also used sarcasmsarcastically in reference to an individual's overwrought or excessive emotional outbursts.----In engineering, performance relates to measuring some output or behaviour.

Suzuki-Orff School for Young Musicians
The Suzuki-Orff School for Young Musicians provides exceptional arts education as a catalyst to help children reach their greatest potential. Our innovative curricula: • Nurture creativity and self-expression; • Develop music and critical thinking skills; • Accelerate academic achievement; and, • Incorporate family as an integral part of a child's learning experiences. The School brings together families from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, with a strong emphasis on reaching those who face significant economic and environmental challenges. Suzuki-Orff's on-site programs and outreach initiatives in the Chicago Public Schools provide high-quality, year-long arts education to thousands of children each week. Suzuki-Orff was founded in 1981 to fill a void in Chicago’s education community. We began teaching Orff classes and Suzuki instruction to a diverse group of fifteen families. Within two years, we established partnerships with nearby public schools to broaden our on-site student base and created a need-based tuition assistance program. Inspired by our innovative methods, Chicago Public Schools requested our help to bring music programming into their schools. As a result, we launched Project IMAGE in 1986. This program provides innovative, long term arts education in schools that serve low and mixed-income populations. We initiated Baby STEPS® in 1994, Clap, Sing and READ!® in 1996, and Music LEAPS in 2000. These initiatives, designed into core Suzuki-Orff programs. Today, Suzuki-Orff serves thousands of children and families each year.
