30DSR Day 13: Add Sparkle to your Next Studio Recital or Event

If you’re on Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest – chances are you’ve seen tons of photos and stories of inventive, creative and wonderful music recitals. Does your own studio recital sometimes look a bit drab in comparison?

30 Day Studio Refresh Day 13 Better Recitals

Make your studio recital sparkle

I don’t think there’s any point letting the internet make us feel guilty. I’m quite sure your recitals and events are pretty darn fabulous already. šŸ˜‰

Today we’re just adding that extra sparkle that could take your event from…

“That was great, thank you.”

…to RAVE reviews from parents and students.

Now I know your next recital or event is probably not for a few months yet. But. If you leave these extra details until just before – they won’t happen. You’ll get caught up (understandably so!) in programs, attendance, guests, venues, and all that fun stuff.

If you have a recital sparkle already on your mind then hop to it! Otherwise check out the ideas below to get the creative juices flowing.

By the way, if you want to create awesome recital experience for your older students ā€“ you’re definitely going to want to read this post.
