Your Child Can Have a Positive Piano Recital Experience!
What is the purpose of a piano recital anyway? Well, it's an opportunity for a student to show what they have learned for the past few weeks or months. And it's a good place to listen to other students and get some motivation and set some future goals to reach, too.
Many parents think of piano recitals in a negative light, such as an occasion where their child might get nervous and make noticeable mistakes. All this nervousness and tensions transfers itself to the performer, which is not good. Most parents push the recital idea rather aggressively yet think of their child has not being up to the standard as a good student---which makes the child even more nervous.
Some piano teachers think of a recital as a place for a student to present what they have learned for the past few weeks or months. It's a place where children play the pieces they enjoy yet perform well. And many teachers believe that some of the parents do more harm than good with the negative mindset and projecting their nervousness onto their child.
Some, if not all students are anxious and tense for recitals, but this is only to be expected and is normal behavior. Children should select a recital piece or two that they excel at playing and that sounds good as a performance. If this is successful at the recital, the student will gain more insight and self-assurance for other upcoming recitals.
Remember, as a parent shower your child with good constructive comments and make them feel good about their performances. Students should practice with their own small recitals at home, playing other pieces and recital pieces. Students can have fun walking up to the piano bench, sitting down, and bowing at the end of their family performance at home.
Playing in a pretend recital at home will allow the student to develop more self-assurance and self-confidence to go ahead and play for the real recital. Just so your child is truly comfortable, make sure that the student should wear clothes they feel and look good wearing. Clothing and shoes that are too tight will make them feel uneasy and not sure of themselves, so they should be prepared to wear their favorites.
One more thing to do is to record the piece to be performed at the recital so your child can listen to it. After listening to it, the student may notice some mistakes that need to be corrected. Participation in a piano recital is a great learning experience and a good way for your child to feel a sense of accomplishment.
Your child's first piano recital can be a momentous event in his or her life, so make it a special occasion. But make sure you don't overdo it and get nervous, as your child will sense it and start feeling those same nervous feelings that you have. Make your child feel confident and loved so there are fond memories of the first recital, and do take the family out for dinner to your child's favorite restaurant when the recital is over! - 2361
