WHY ARE RECITALS BENEFICIAL?
Performing is a vital component of the discipline of music study.
Therefore our students are expected to participate in recitals, auditions,
competitions, or festivals. Students who learn to perform develop many character
traits that distinguish them from those who have not had such an opportunity.
Performing is a natural outgrowth of the discipline acquired by students who do well
in music lessons. They learn to arrive on time for lessons, to schedule practice time
regularly, and to prepare the material assigned to them. We sincerely hope our students
leave our program with more than the ability to create music on the instrument, or the
appreciation for music. We want them to realize they have the ability and skills to analyze
and overcome new challenges throughout their lives. Students learn that during a public
performance they can adjust for missed notes or fingers that became tangled on a difficult passage.
They also learn the meaning of adequate preparation—a skill often overlooked.
Life is filled with little performances such as an important job interview. Learning to face the
challenges of performing will better prepare these students to live their lives responsibly.
