Tips and Tricks

Photo - If you are an emerging artist wishing to be taken seriously, make sure you have a great head shot photo, with your instrument, which is clear and creative. Look through our Virtuosi Page for inspiration! This will be used by organisers to advertise all of your upcoming concerts.

Bio – write up a 80 to 150 word biography of your experience and education. When you started, who you study with, level attained, interesting performances, awards you have received can all be discussed in this bio. Make sure your contact details are stated!

Audio – have some sample audio clips or video clips of you playing, this will be invaluable when you are seeking opportunities or applying for funding. Make sure your clips show your technical and musical abilities as strongly as possible. If you are being accompanied, make sure your collaborative artist adds value to your performance.
