Recital day
What a recital is like
In the big room
Recitals are held in the big room, with the grand piano and rows of chairs. Students play one or two pieces, and each ends with applause.
Your teacher helps you choose
Teachers help students pick a piece they like and practice it. Nobody is ranked, and nobody has to play.
For families
Concert dress is a clean shirt and trousers or a skirt. Arrive early so the student can warm up, silence phones, and clap at the end of each piece.
