Performing Music

This KS2 Music quiz takes a look at performing music. Performing music is playing live to an audience. Performance - the very word is enough to make some musicians break into a cold sweat. So many things can go wrong! And yet, making music with others and performing it for an audience is one of the most rewarding activities for musicians.

When you are practising playing an instrument, it's OK to stop when you make a mistake and start again. After all, you want to play the piece perfectly! However, when you are performing, the audience would rather not sit through numerous failed attempts so if you make a mistake when playing live, you simply carry on as if it never happened. The audience will forgive you.
