I’m so glad we can share in one another’s pain, all the while having a good laugh. Actually, replace “good laugh” with “bustin’ a gut” because there were some seriously funny recital disasters!
Between broken pedals, security alarms, cheeky offspring, and swear words, it was tough to choose a winner. But, at the end of the day, we simply had to give the nod to Michelle M. who accidentally kept her little students busy searching for the word “ass”. That’s right, unfortunately for Michelle, during the creation of a Christmas word search puzzle her spell check thought this to be a perfectly acceptable substitute for “donkey”.
The second winner (selected at random) is Brittany R.
Thank you to all contributors and, to the winners, please check out our resources at the Teach Piano Today store, and let us know which one you choose as your prize.
I’d love to read some of the recital bloopers! I haven’t had any yet to share. Maybe next year.
Hi Carol – the recital bloopers are all in the comments section of the post we did. Link is here for your enjoyment

My all-time favorite is chapter 30 in James Herriot’s book, The Lord God Made Them All, about him sitting through his kids’ piano recital. I have read this aloud at my recitals. Enjoy!
Yay!!! Thanks…although, should I be so proud!? lol
