Recitals play an important part in the development of any musician. We believe that to be a really great performer, you have to have consistent and gradual performance experience. In addition to consistent performance experience, you need to have positive performance experiences. Often, students are pushed to perform when they are not ready and this can lead to a negative performance experience. The effects of a negative performance experience may take years to overcome. All of the teachers at Allegro stress that recitals are optional and low pressure. Students do not have to perform but many choose to.
If you would like to perform or would like for your child to perform in our December recitals (Sunday, December 14th and Sunday December 21st, 2014 at the UA School of Music), here’s how it works:
1. Please let your teacher know if you would like to perform in the December recital ASAP. On October 31st, all teacher’s will submit their lists of students who have the desire and ability to perform in the December recitals.
2. One of the many benefits of being an Allegro School of Music student, is that we host recitals every 6 months (May and December). When you perform at the recital, you really want to have something great prepared to play. It will make the recital experience a success for you that will enhance your development instead of impeding it. If you or your child are not quite ready to perform, don’t worry, there’s another recital right around the corner, no more than 6 months away. If you are interested in performing, please talk to your teacher asap.
*Remember that you cannot choose your recital day or time. Recitals will be scheduled on the hour from 11:00 a.m.- 7:00 p.m. on December 14th and 21st. Please do not make time requests.
