Recital Series: Performance Tips

Hello again! Today in my recital series I will be covering Performance Tips. This is my last post in the series, but I'll continue to post over the summer, I pinky promise!
So let's jump right in!

Tips and Ideas


-Use emotion. If the piece is cheesy and cute, or if you are longing for someone, or are broken hearted, or something else, stay in character! You want to capture the audience's attention from start to finish.
-Be warm. I know I've mentioned this before, but definitely stretch before performances. It'll only make your performance stronger.
-Pointeyourtoesdon'tforgettosmile!Holdyourstomachstretchyourfeetstraightenyourarmsandlegs! You know all those little things that your teacher tells you in class and in rehearsal? This is time when you show it off, so mentally go through a checklist of key things in your head before going on stage.
-Have a ton of fun! Recitals/performances are supposed to be fun, not a burden. Enjoy this moment of the bright lights shining down on you as you show what you've learned this year. When you've worked so hard, why blow it off now? This is the time you amp it up!

I hope these tips were helpful! As I promised I 'll keep you all updated (if anyone actually reads this).
Thanks for reading! :)
