The recital is meaningful as well as enlightening for the students ; from celebrating their achievements to figuring out areas that need improvement.

As teacher Lee Jae puts it: “The concert is meant to be a learning experience for everyone. We only grow stronger with every performance we do,  so you have bigger and better experiences to look forward to.”

Students who took part in the recital.

Learning piano to acquire the skills and mastering it is,  a journey with its many milestones.

While some students may be talented, it takes  discipline, hard work, diligent  practice  and most of all,  the help and guidance of a good teacher to realize the students’ full potential.

The same applies to all students .

And guidance and support from their parents and/ or family members especially for the very young students, is  equally important.

The presence of the students’  family members at the recital  speaks volumes.

Every student is unique.

For this recital, preparations started from choosing the piece, practising the technicalities, polishing it,  practise playing for others  to  stagecraft.

All in, the  teacher, students and their family members made the recital a resounding success.

Looking forward to next year’s recital!
