Practice Tip - Preparing for a Performance

Our 32nd Spring Recital is just around the corner so it seemed appropriate to do a “repeat performance” about preparing for a recital.

First, know your song well! Play it super slow, play it with expression, play it standing up, play it in all registers of your keyboard. If you can, memorize it! But everytime you play it, try to make it sound even better than the last time.

Practice performing. Walk away from your piano, then back to it and stand in front, announce your piece, sit down and play your piece, and then stand up and bow to all the applause you will get. After practicing performing on your own, practice performing in front of an audience.

Perform your piece whenever a friend comes over to visit. Perform for your family right before or right after dinner. Get your stuffed animals situated to listen to your amazing performance. Being comfortable in front of an audience just takes practice.

Will your child be performing with us? All of our current students have chosen a piece to perform and are preparing during their piano classes. However, only those that sign up will be scheduled to perform. We would love to have your child join us!
