The holidays are coming up...why not add some spark to it this year?
Gather some family and close friends and host your own recital for them. It could feature just you, you and a fellow musician friend(s), siblings, etc.
Remember, time and place. Is it Christmas time? Perform Christmas music. Is it Halloween time? How about something more Halloween themed, such as the Adam's Family or the theme song from the Exorcist. Maybe you can keep it a completely classical performance and select your strongest and favorite pieces. Is it a birthday party for someone? Play the pieces of their selection, plus the traditional "happy birthday song." Give them the gift of music :)
If you want to make it more formal, here are a couple other tips:
*Make a program. Just a pretty piece of paper, (either decorate it yourself with stickers or get the specialty paper) with your list of songs. Make sure to include everyone who is performing and the date.
*Make sure the area you perform is clean and tidy. You don't want a mess!
*Have a reception afterwards.
*Dress nicely. (See time and place entry.)
*Perhaps give a brief introduction to a piece before you perform it (composer, description, etc.)
You work so hard, so show it off and have fun with it!
Til next time,
