| THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDENT RECITALS A student who puts his own emotions and creativity into a piece of music and makes it his own has accomplished something great! It builds confidence, poise and performance experience that assist students with many aspects of their development both musical and far reaching beyond the realms of musical progression, by having a positive venue to "face their fears." Recitals are an opportunity for students to share music with each other, family, friends and their community. It’s a mistake for anyone to think that perfection is what listeners hope for in a recital. The enjoyment of listening to students is not dependent on hopes of a brilliant, flawless performance. The joy of a recital is seeing students trying their best and making progress. Each performance opportunity gives another “experience point” towards higher achievement and further mastery. The recital is a tool to challenge the student to make progress polishing a work of art and have fun in the process. Preparation is the key to performance comfort while retaining a healthy and positive perspective during the process. The overall goal is having the recital serve as a useful learning tool. The recital also serves as a “Crane Studio” camaraderie builder where each student, their families and friends are wholeheartedly encouraged to listen to and be supportive of each other’s respective “musical journeys.” Progress is realized through positive participation, support and perseverance!
