Performance maybe be one of the most nerve-wrecking but gratifying aspects of playing an instrument. Not only do you share your wonderful gift with others, when performing you also learn to build stamina and confidence, while learning the art of managing stress. All very useful qualities for various aspects of life.
As developing musicians, unfortunately, we rarely receive the opportunity to perform. This is why I endeavour to offer my students two end-of-semester performance recitals hosted in my studio. Friends and family are encouraged to attend and students receive a certificate of participation!
