FOR PERFORMERS

Conquer the Stage: Tips and Tricks for Preparing for Your Recital. Please remember to get ready in the front row next to the stage at least two (2) numbers before your turn to perform.

1. Familiarize yourself with the pieces, though memorization is optional.

2. Prepare for the performance:

  • Approach the stage confidently.
  • Come to a complete stop in front of the piano.
  • Establish eye contact with the audience.
  • Perform a graceful bow, counting to three as you do so.

3. Adjust your piano bench to ensure comfort. If needed, don't hesitate to ask Ms.Pangfun for assistance.

4. While seated:

  • Maintain an upright posture with hands on your lap.
  • Lift your hands and place them gently on the keys.
  • Take a deep breath.
  • Begin playing.

5. Between each song:

  • Lift your hands off the keys and rest them on your lap.
  • Calm any nerves, take your time, and prepare for the next piece.
  • When ready, lift your hands and place them on the keys.
  • Inhale and continue playing.

6. After the final song:

  • Lift your hands from the keys.
  • Rest them on your lap for a count of three.
  • Stand up from the bench.
  • Perform a bow, counting to three.

7. Before the recital, practice wearing your chosen attire, including shoes, at least twice to ensure comfort.

Dress in your finest attire or as elegantly as you prefer. Ensure that your clothing allows for unrestricted arm movement, with appropriate sleeve length and minimal interference with playing and comfort.

Please refrain from wearing jeans or slippers.

Keep your hair away from your face by clipping, tying, or using gel as recommended for convenience and focus during your performance.
