Cleveland Piano Lessons: Annual Student Recitals

Cleveland-Piano-Lessons-Orimilo — Student Performing at Annual Recital

In the spring of each year, students perform at a student piano recital. A few months prior to the recital, each student, with Dr. Arnoff, selects the music s/he will perform at the recital. Dr. Arnoff progressively guides students to pay closer attention to the details of the music. This includes attention to pedaling, rhythm, dynamics, articulation (legato, portamento, staccato), and expression. Experience has shown that students want to do well at the recital and are more motivated to improve their skills and play at their highest level.

As the recital approaches, students invite their parents, relatives, and friends to attend the recital. Everyone looks forward toward the end of the recital as advanced students amaze the audience by their excellence in performing such works as a Bach two-part inventions or a movement of a Beethoven sonata. Dr. Arnoff says that, if students must learn new music, he must also. He performs at the end of the recital.
