Techniques for Recital Preparation

While many begin to prepare for their end of year recitals, it is worth taking a moment to consider practical routines to let the body best facilitate a good performance. Over the last few years I have been experimenting with my diet and daily routines leading up to a big solo concert or audition.

Understandably, not everything can be done all the time, but I think trying a few of these techniques might be beneficial to anyone's performance preparation.
