What better way to celebrate PianoTell's (almost) first birthday than participate in Recital #4?! Check out Recital #3, Recital #2, and Recital #1, for an idea of the recital format.
Why participate in regular recitals? This is an opportunity to share your music if you are a seasoned player, showcase your progress milestone by milestone if you're an active learner, stay motivated and on track, or simply contribute to the community fun! This is what it's all about.
Everyone is welcome and what you submit is up to you.
We will open for submissions on 30 April 2025 (ish) and the recital will go live on 15 May 2025.
The recital format will be the similar to last time. See below for details!
