Day 3 - Recital Planning

Discover

Today I've decided to write about what I am most excited about in my piano teaching career.  I must say that the most exciting thing in my teaching career is planning for recitals and then holding the event.

Explore (Think and feel)

Why am I excited about planning recitals?  What is it about planning recitals that I get excited about?  I find that there are several reasons:
  • the opportunity for my students to share what they are learning and have learned to the public;
  • the end result;
  • the feeling of pride when the audience applauds knowing that their hard work paid off; and I think most especially
  • it is that wonderful feeling of pressure from the audience to do well.
During my college days, I had to perform in front of an audience as part of my curriculum and I never thought I would love it so much!  My piano professor personally told me that I work best under pressure and that is so true.

Share (Thoughts)

The excitement I get from planning recitals gave me the idea of becoming an event planner.  I don't know how the market for an event planner is in my little town but I am sure that it is one field that cannot be replaced by technology.  Just thinking about planning for some big event such as a conference, a trade show, a guest speaker gets me a bit pumped up.  Knowing and feeling that I am helping out and being part of something very BIG and important is such a good feeling.
