Why perform
The importance of recitals with music lessons
At Opus 1 Music Studio, we consider it especially important to provide a number of opportunities for our music students to take part in recitals throughout the year.
Recitals are important because:
- A recital can help students build confidence.
- Hearing beginners perform shows them how far they have progressed since their first lesson.
- Hearing more advanced students perform may inspire newer students to become higher level performers.
- Recitals help students reinforce skills.
- Recitals emphasize practice.
- A recital showcases talent.
- A recital establishes discipline.
- A recital is empowering.
Parents and grandparents thoroughly enjoy hearing the progress their loved ones are making with their music lessons. They enjoy attending these performances and getting pictures and video recordings, especially when it is their first recital.
Our recitals provide direction and purpose to the student's musical studies. Sometimes a student loses motivation and progress becomes slow. At these times, it is helpful to have a long-term goal to work toward, other than seemingly endless weekly lessons.
Playing in a recital is well worth the time and effort, and students continue to benefit long after the performance is over.
Admission is free for all recitals. Recital performance is free for all Opus 1 students.
