These are great tips! I have a student recital coming up and shared this great video with all my students. I also have them perform at 8 houses before the recital day.

I only had 1 week and a half to learn for my first recital... tomorrow (im going into eighth grade and been playing for around 2 years)

[@billdonahue514]

Wonderful advice!

[@PatriciaMumbi-vg7ez]

Love the tips... also, what is the name of the piece playing in the background?

[@cloudrouju526]

That helped a lot! I was preparing for a speech. And then a test. And then to meet a girl. And then…. I never performed in a recital though.

[@007myzorro]

Very cool. 😊👍👍

[@kuru9157]

I've never done tip 1 properly. In my 9 year of studying the double bass I've never been fully comfortable with a piece while performing... yikes!

[@cjams115]

Bruh, Preach. I’ve got one in like an hour lmao

[@A_warrior_in_the_making]

Me who can't get sleep because the day before I'm just nervous and scared and then I can't sleep I have to play in 12 days

[@pamcrowther5386]

[@breadbread8103]

Sread the word about god

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

[@007myzorro]

And DONT supress the background music at all! Its instead VERY INSPIRING. Divine SCARLATTI and so on…

[@scmager]

Lots of excellent suggestions. Please consider removing the background music. It’s much too good to be a background to anything, and instead it is a real distraction from your spoken message, which any serious piano student ought to hear. Thank you.
