4 days before the performance, a performer should be running through the piece from beginning to end, and practicing at 2/3 tempo. Mental practice of the entire piece away from the instrument is particularly useful for imagining the type of performance you want to give and strengthening memory. Practicing the day of the performance should focus on warm ups and conserving energy. This means no repeated run throughs during the day of the recital, but mental practice away from the instrument is always great!

Performing takes tremendous concentration for the performers, and any young children who become restless will need to be immediately escorted outside of the recital hall. Students and guardians need to be present the entire duration of the recital.

All loose leaf sheet music MUST BE in 3-ring binder. We’ve seen many performance disasters with loose leaf music blown off music stands by air ventilation, thereby disrupting the performer’s focus and stage presentation. Don’t let this be your performer!

Students need to bring their music even if they will play from memory as a backup. Needless to say, students need to bring music if they are using it.
