Participating in recitals is very important for each piano student. It sparks a student's desire to learn more, and to practice more. I have noticed that a couple of months before each recital, and also after a recital my piano students are extra motivated and inspired to practice. To them and to their parents our recitals are very special events.
My students participate in recitals twice per year - we have a Christmas Recital in the beginning of December, and a Spring Recital that takes place in May or in the beginning of June.
Our recitals are non - competitive. In my opinion competitions are not appropriate for younger children, and even older students should not be "forced" to compete unless they choose to. Instead, I prefer my students to learn to perform and gain confidence in a friendly environment, in front of an encouraging and appreciating audience. I have students from children to adults and after each recital they get inspired from each other's progress. Adult students are not required to participate in the recitals unless they choose to do so.
After each recital we have refreshments and get a chance to meet old friends or to make new ones.
