Practice the skill of piano performance sooner rather than later

I've noticed a misconception that learning your piano pieces better is the key to becoming comfortable with performance. While it's certainly important to know your pieces well, performance is actually an entirely different skill that needs to be developed separately. The best way I've found to build this skill is to find low-stakes, high-support opportunities to share your music with others, as early into your piano journey as possible! Here's my take on why this is so important, and how you might get started.

Good luck!
