The Smart Thing is to Prepare for the Unexpected
Sometimes – it’s the little things that throw you. Don’t let them.

Practice your pieces in different orders.
· Song first – then monologue
· Monologue then song.
· Doing three pieces – there are a variety of orders – do that.
· Practice your transitions
· Take into account that you have to communicate with your accompanist during your time on stage.

Let’s say the accompanist says – Why don’t you do your monologue first – that will give me time to look over the – Key Changes, Your Marks, I don’t know this song – whatever. What do you say? YES of course! Why – because in your head you are ready for this scenario. It doesn’t throw you – because you are
Prepared and Expect the Unexpected!
