Congratulations to four of my students who participated in the GCMTA “Music Tells the Story” recital held at Christ Episcopal Church, Columbia, Maryland on January 30th, at 12:30 pm.

What is the story you wish to convey to your audience as they listen to you perform your piece? As a musician, each piece you play conveys a personal story to you, and you in turn can convey that to your audience through technique and expressiveness, AND with words!

What story will you share for your performance piece? Notice how dynamics, phrasing, harmony, and melody help “tell the story.”
