Recitals

My studio has it’s fall recitals this weekend.

For the first time I am breaking my one long (very long last spring) recital into two shorter recitals. The downside is that not everyone will be able to hear each other play but the upside is more students are inviting people to come watch and there are no worries about picking a short enough piece we can fit everyone in.
I am excited to see how it works and how the different set up feels!

Right now everyone is busy practicing and I am busy putting the final touches on programs and other details . . . it’s always a lot of work for everyone but after each recital I’m reminded why I do this job.

It’s so fun to see how students have grown and matured in their playing and see a few students overcome big hurdles like making peace with being nervous and pulling off a good performance anyhow.

Do you have any good recital stories to tell?
