Countdown to Recital

Our spring recitals are just around the corner. Are you ready??

By now, you should know your performance piece, so these days ahead of us are all about perfecting them. Here are some tips to get performance-ready quickly.

• Try performing your piece in front of a friend or family member, just to settle those nerves a bit before your big day.

• It might sound silly, but try practicing walking onstage, bowing, and exiting. This is just another way to settle nerves a bit and relieve the jitters about the unexpected.

• Go ahead and choose your recital outfit, making sure you feel comfortable in whatever you are wearing.

• The day before your recital, make a check list of things to take and go ahead and pack everything up. Recital days are stressful enough without last-minute panic because you forgot your music!

• Make sure your instrument is tuned before the recital. This includes vocalists! Get that voice warmed up and ready to shine!

• ENJOY the moment!! This is where all of your hard work has led up to!
