Performing regularly was one of the most valuable parts of my own musical education. Looking back, those experiences didn't just improve my playing and give me something to work towards - they also built my confidence, communication skills, and joy in sharing music with others.
That's why performances are now woven into our programme, rather than just being an optional add-on. In 2026, students will take part in a Rest Home Concert once per term during their regular Lab time. These concerts will be a low-pressure, meaningful opportunity to bring joy to others while developing stage confidence.
We'll also hold Performance Workshops within the studio to help students prepare, support one another, and grow together. And of course, our Annual Recital on one of Marlborough's finest pianos remains a highlight, where students' families and friends can celebrate the progress that they've made throughout the year.
These experiences will help shape confident, generous musicians who can share their musical gift with others.
