Imagine dropping your sheet music in the middle of a packed auditorium versus accidentally knocking your stand over while recording a video on your phone.

What is Performance Etiquette?

Performance etiquette is the set of respectful behaviors and customs shared between performers and their audience during a musical presentation.
These unspoken rules help performers focus on making music and ensure audience members can enjoy the sound without distractions.

Live Performance Etiquette

A live concert is synchronous, meaning the performer and audience share the exact same space and time together.
Audience etiquette in a live hall requires total silence during play, holding applause until an entire multi-movement work is complete, and keeping glowing screens hidden.
For the live musician, etiquette includes dressing formally, bowing acknowledged applause, and never stopping or showing frustration if a wrong note occurs.
