Walk up to the piano like you would going to class, it's no big deal, you just do it. Make yourself comfortable, sometimes you should anounce yourself if some one doesn't introduct you; just tell them who you are. Imagine for a moment that your piano teacher just asked you to play your recital number, then play as you normally would. Someone out there really enjoys your music, play for them.What is some advice for doing your first recital for piano?
Choose a piece that is easy and yet regarded as one of the best piano pieces in the world
My friend is a grade 8 piano player but played this great grade 2 piece and the teachers all thought he was way better than he was even though its a piece people who have been playing for 3 weeks could do
Try MOONLIGHT SONATA by beethoven
When you play this piece you dont even notice mistakes
(p.s dont try to picture everyone in their underwear!!! IT DOESNT WORK!!!)
Dont get worried about it. You won't make a mistake if you don't worry.
Practice and practice beforehand in order to get the song down, but after that there is nothing you can do.
I have done countless recitals and I find the best thing to help me calm down is take deep breaths in and out. Not only that, but i learned this great trick from a professor who taught this thing called ';brain gym.'; It really Works! What you do is you close you eyes and take deep breaths in and out all while taking your finger and drawing a backwards eight on your thigh. It really helps because it gets your mind off the performance and focuses you on something else.
do the audience a favor, and dont do it at all....
