Acknowledging the Accompanist or Conductor
Shows appreciation for their contribution; typically done by looking towards them and nodding or gesturing after the performance.
Responsiveness to Cues
Watch the conductor or ensemble leader closely for cues on timing and dynamics; essential for a cohesive performance.
Taking a Bow
Expresses gratitude for the audience's attention and applause; done at the end of the performance, following a brief pause after the last note.
Page Turner Etiquette
Use a discreet and silent page turner for sheet music; coordination should be rehearsed prior to performance.
Tuning Before a Performance
Ensures the instrument sounds its best; typically done discreetly before the audience arrives or quietly on stage if necessary.
Interacting with the Audience
Maintain professionalism; any remarks should be brief, relevant, and respectful, ideally before or after the performance, not during.
Handling Mistakes During Performance
Stay composed and continue playing; mistakes are often less noticeable to the audience than to the performer.
Entering and Exiting the Stage
Done gracefully to show professionalism; enter promptly when announced and exit only after the applause concludes.
Dress Appropriately
Wearing formal concert attire respects the audience and the venue; it often depends on the venue and type of performance.
Use of Music Stand
Place the stand so that it does not block the audience's view of the performer or instrument; adjust the height for optimal visibility of the sheet music.
