Competition tips!

Practise performing your pieces as well as playing and practising them.

Try out different pianos if you can. This will help you get used to the idea of adjusting to a different piano and acoustic.

Decide what to wear-something comfortable but smart, in between your football kit and a princess dress! If you're using the pedals, shoes with a small heel and no massive platforms are best.

Arrive at the competition in time to hear the class before your's. It will help you see what happens and get you accustomed to the room and the process.

When it is your turn, breathe deeply, take your time to settle yourself on the piano stool ( right height and distance etc) and open your music. Think before you play.

When you have finished the audience will clap and you should bow- "what's that on my shoe " and up. Take your music and return to your seat.

Listen quietly to everyone else play and to the adjudicator's comments. Collect your certificate. 

Treat time!
