<p><strong>What Music to Pick:</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You and your teacher will work together to pick one piece/skill to perform that your child has already learned and is easy for them. We want our students to be confident performers and the best way to ensure a fantastic performance experience is to choose a skill or piece of music that can be elevated and refined, rather than performing something learned very r</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ece</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">ntly.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Practice Performing:</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Help your child get ready by practicing their performance at home and for friends and family. Don't forget to practice a bow before and after your piece! <a href="https://youtu.be/BNjNFxw_Qus?si=RGCNCv20wzmRa3L0">Watch this video for step-by-step instructions.</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are the basic steps:</span></p>
