It doesn't matter if you play to one person or 10,000 people, or if you perform in a playground or a stadium. The experience of performing music to an audience is what makes music so much fun!

Performance is when all the dimensions of music come together.

It's not just about playing well, it's about playing with passion and emotion.

This is what creates a connection between the audience and the performers.

Ludwig Van Beethoven is famously quoted as saying:

To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.

Don't be afraid of mistakes. Making mistakes and practising will make your next performance even better.

An audience isn't there to listen to technique, they are there to experience the performance and be moved out of their seats.

Give it everything you've got!

Have a go at performing with Lightning Jelly in this sing along video. Sing the lyrics as they light up and don't forget to sing it with passion and emotion!
