Cool ways exposure to music can show up in kids.

The violin ensemble performed 𝑆𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝐺𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑠 to close our studio recital last night at Ruggero Piano in Raleigh. The lyrics capture the overall vibe felt and shared as student pianists, violinists , and cellist celebrated their musical gifts through performance: ‘Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,And when we find ourselves in the place just right,'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.When true simplicity is gain'd,To bow and to bend we will not be asham'd,To turn, turn will be our delight,Till by turning, turning we come round right.

My music studio will be having a recital soon. I recently had a conversation with a parent whose child is anxious about performing.

Performance may be one of the scariest ideas for any musician. Each person handles this idea differently and some choose to not participate at all—it’s all part of learning. I never want an experience to be crippling and offer a few thoughts to help reframe the process.

I have removed or changed anything that would identify the student or the parent. This is an issue that all musicians face (including myself)! These ideas can be applied to other domains and are good reminders for adults too.

Happy New Year!

Committing to a piece of music to study can be a tough decision. This time around, I chose a piece based on how my nervous system responds to the many low tones and the range of expressions I will experience.
