Performers can focus on bringing their own personalities and interpretations on stage without any pressure of comparison or competition with other performers. This is what a performing career is all about – being yourself and touching the hearts of your audience. It is definitely not only about sitting for music exams or winning competitions. My heartiest congratulations to SMTA for their efforts in giving young musicians here not only opportunities, but the right kind of platforms for them to experience the life of a concert artist and share their gift with others

I participated in the 5th LPPF 2022 June to gain exposure in giving a public performance. It is my first public performance. The takeaway for me was the overall experience of performing on a grand piano!
I participated in the 5th LPPF to increase my exposure performing in front of a live audience and to gauge how much I've improved in my confidence onstage and my own playing. I always learn something new from the adjudicator’s comments. This year, Dr Nellie Seng commented on exploring how to present a piece and bring out the character of the participants’ pieces. I also learn something new from listening to each participant's performance, what and what not to apply in my own performance and pieces
We love that it is a platform to motivate kids to put music first, without the pressure of competition. My daughter had a very good experience and was very encouraged by her award. Thank you for all the hard work in organising the Le Petit Fest!
The festival stage, in an intimate performing setting, helps young performers experience what it is like to perform while giving them a glimpse of what performing in larger settings would be like. The LPPF is a great platform for all to experience this first-hand.
As it is not a competition, there is no comparison with other participants. The Festival really allowed me the performer to fully focus on the music rather than on winning or elimination. Awards allocated to participants are based on their own pieces and skill. I found the video recording useful too. Comment sheets written by the judges are given to participants to make improvements. Many overseas participants also joined, allowing me to learn from these people from different cultures—an eye-opener!
As a student intern assisting the adjudicators, I was able to see things from a new perspective that was different from that of the audience or performer. Although I have had past musical experiences, seeing the adjudicators write down their thoughts for every performer so fluidly and nimbly, no matter the duration of performance, made me deeply appreciate their skill and effort. I can feel that they sincerely wish for every performer to put their best foot forward in communicating music through their performance; they did not hold back in giving words of encouragement and advice.
