WKMT London Music Festivals

A Fabulous performance opportunity!

May 11th, 2024 – St. Cuthbert’s Church, London

At WKMT we are pioneering the school festival scene!

Covid-19 left us with no live events, without the chance of attending music events. But now we are back for you to keep on enjoying and performing in our music events in London!

 

As a piano instructor with over 15 years of experience, I have confirmed the same pattern throughout many students: they need a goal.

Regardless if it is an ABRSM grading examination, a competition or a live performance, they won’t show the same amount of work and dedication as opposed if they do have any of the goals aforementioned.

Among the objectives proposed in the previous paragraph, a live performance was mentioned. In the case of WKMT students, this translates into the experience of a Music Festival. This event provides an opportunity for all participants to perform in front of a live audience.

A bonus from this gathering is that WKMT records and films professionally the event for further feedback with their teacher.

 

Join us on the 11th for a beautiful pianistic experience in London!

Why is it relevant to perform in WKMT festivals for your music education process?


Studying piano is essentially a lonely process. The instrument itself is destined to be mainly a solo instrument, which means the performer usually plays alone. Within the dynamic of the weekly lesson, we have the teacher, the student and the student’s parents in the case of the children.
Students don’t have a space in which they can interchange ideas, experiences and share common goals within the lesson framing. Festivals are a great moment to give our students the chance to mingle and meet people with similar interests.

Playing before a live audience develops confidence. It is a powerful medium to beat bashfulness and boost your morale.
With children, it is vital to be aware that these skills will transfer into other life experiences in their future: a job interview, a public speech, etc.

Whenever is a goal set, the student will push harder than ever to achieve it and favour concentration and stamina in their studies; the understanding that when we play live, we expose ourselves and this situation makes the student give the best they can.
Throughout the years we have verified that the students who perform in our festivals increase their study time 50% more than the students who don’t.

What happens at WKMT Festivals?

WKMT has been hosting their festivals for almost seven years, and they turned out to be the highlight of WKMT events.

It is a captivating gathering where every one of our students and loved ones will enjoy.

We start with a reception with a comprehensive assortment of appetisers and drinks such as prosecco, wine and soft drinks for the children, where students and their guests can talk and mingle and with our Director Mr Juan Rezzuto as well as the WKMT teaching staff.

After the reception, the performers will go to the practice room where they will find a haven to practise before their performances and to concentrate in a relaxed environment. Lots of encouragement among the students will naturally happen, as per the experience of previous years.

After every performance, they can sit at the main auditorium to appreciate the music of their fellow piano performers.

Every performance is professionally recorded by our sound engineer and filmed with three 4-K definition cameras. Every student will receive a personalised video.
