Recital 2

(part 2 of 6 from the article Recital Time)

Why do I have a recital?

I feel that recitals are an important part of learning to play and appreciate music. 

  • Recitals give students a goal to work towards in learning and perfecting their repertoire.
  • Recitals provide motivation for students to review their songs, going beyond just hitting correct notes into playing with emotion, expression, and skill.
  • Recitals reinforce the idea that musical talent is developed to be shared, not just kept in private.
  • Recitals allow students to hear others and learn from them.
