FORMAT/SAMPLE OF A RECITAL'S PROGRAM COVER, ITS PROGRAMS AND PROGRAM NOTES
For any diploma piano exam or professional piano recital
Written by Siwen Wong
Besides taught my students how to dress up properly for their exam, I always encouraged my grader-students to write a program bringing along for their exam even it was not a requirement. Examiners did give me positive feedbacks, besides that students also learned how to write simple program notes and produce a program.
Dressed up nicely, learned how to write and produce a program for an exam always was an exciting experience for my ex-students, but always there were some lazy students made me burnt midnight oil to print out programs just in time for their exam!
