    At my first recital I played my song with only one small mistake, but here at my second one, I found myself making a lot more mistakes! I have to assume this was mostly due to the nerves of performing in front of other people, since I was able to play these songs flawlessly at home. I knew that this performance wasn't a big deal, but my hands still felt all weak and shaky, and my mind went into an annoying kind of fog that made it difficult to concentrate. I guess I was just a little bit scared! I suppose one of the only ways to overcome these nerves is to just keep trying and slowly becoming more comfortable with it! Every time I do this it feels like I grow in a way I never would have otherwise.
    Thanks for watching everyone

      Doing new things is often really hard for people who excel at something else! You did great and it is inspiring to people like me who struggle to step out into new things in case we’re not “perfect”.

      Agreed the more you try the easier it gets. You didn’t come off as nervous in your presentation. You have a very positive pleasant demeanor.
      Nice songs👏👏👏

      Sounds about right. I've been playing for years and only recently started trying to get over my stage fright. Shaky hands, foggy brain, the notes blur together, very much relying on muscle memory. It's encouraging to see I'm not alone in the struggle. We'll get it down eventually, provided our hands don't shake themselves off and go running out the door first lol.

      Dude you couldn't really tell if you made a lot of mistakes, and you couldn't really tell you were nervous either. We are generally our own worse critic. Nonetheless, it was really good and I found this very endearing. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to hear your future work. Thanks for sharing!

    Just a little advice that can also help with nerves, when performing the time just before you play and just after you play are super important. So I play flute and need to breath and so I take aaaaages before I start, so I can prepare, think about what I’m going to do and take a breath to calm me down, also at the end (in particular with your first piece) let it hang, let the atmosphere just hang right at the end of the piece and then finish rather than being like _last note_ ALRIGHT BOYS WE DONE NOW

    Despite any mistakes (which are very normal unless you're incredibly advanced), it sounds like you've made a lot of progress since your last recital. Lots of good things in both pieces you played. You brought out the somber quality really well in the first piece, and I like your use of ritardando. And I especially like your use of articulation and staccato vs. legato in the second piece. Gives it that kind of playful and somewhat jazzy quality. Keep it up!

    Performing I imagine is a skill as much as learning to play the piece in the first place is. I think you have a good rapport with the audience and the pieces sounded great. Keep doing what you're doing.

    I work for an Eisteddfod and just love seeing our entrants improve from one season to the next.
    What i love even more is just seeing performers of all ages just getting out there and having fun on stage.
    Cant wait to see what your next performance is like

    Peter this is great! Im a musician myself, and i find nerves before a performance to be the #1 most difficult part of playing. Its harder than learning the instrument itself. Good work doing it despite the fear!

    I'm not a musician so me saying I didn't hear any mistakes probably doesn't hold much weight (I really didn't though!). Those pictures at the end were perfect! I want to draw them, but even more I would like to see Peter Draw them in his own style ☺ ...or both lol

  • @mjpete27
    @mjpete27 27 дней назад +1

    Hullo Peter, I commend your efforts and applaud your performance!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
    You must preform in front of people to get better at preforming in front of people! I know that we most often practice until we are exhausted, but being well rested before going out to preform can be a real key to a successful performance! So practice like you said, “Perfect at home by yourself” then rest and maybe one warmup a short time before going out! I have every belief that you are going to be a wonderful performer, you do so well with your videos and gathering confidence in this new art form is all you truly need. Thank you for sharing this new part of your artistic journey with us. I have enjoyed watching your videos and seeing your progress in so many different mediums and sharing your joy in this journey of yours, thank you.
