Just added: a new free, printable worksheet called:
> Performing at the Piano Worksheet
Just in time for the spring recital season, this fill-in-the-blank worksheet is intended to help prepare students for an upcoming recital or other performance by discussing stage presence and performance etiquette.
Terms/concepts covered in the worksheet:
- Memorizing
- Applause
- Bowing
- Checking the bench
- and more.
This worksheet can either be sent home with students, completed one-on-one with the student during the lesson, or — my favorite — done as a group as a studio class or group lesson. It would be fun to complete this worksheet as a group just before a practice run-through of a recital.
Your turn! Share your ideas for preparing students for recitals in the comments!
