Recitals Encourage Students鈥 Growth and teach time management and discipline. The fact that our students exercise skills such as focus and self-motivation, gives them the opportunity to conquer the challenges of their discipline in music. Once a student spends the time doing this and crafting their discipline, their self confidence increases as well as their skill. Through the practice of learning to sing and perform in Italian, German, French and English, this advances their skills in communication and public speaking, along with the recognition to do so. When performing in front of a live audience, a singer is taught how to emote various types of poetry which in turn makes them vulnerable, which may even steer towards recovering from mistakes. These are all life skills that make our students a better performer and future teacher. The experience of live music is different from watching the same event on television or on the Internet. Because of COVID, these experiences were taken away and now it is time to bring them back. A live performance increases audience interaction and a better atmosphere. It also encourages support which is what the Celaire Studio is all about; supporting one another through education, performance and authentic teaching experiences.
