I think having in-home recitals is a great idea (and bit of a stepping stone). That's not to say that she can't do a competition/class recital as well...but the home recitals are a great way to hone her skills for a particular goal without so much pressure. As a performer myself, I will say that there is nothing like performing in front of an audience. It's way to engage in that experience, without the high stakes. AND you can serve wine and cheese. wink
