Hi Lisa,
Advertise. Ask to play specials in your church. Put your name
in at your local music store, if there is one, and in surrounding
areas too. If there is a music club in your area, join it. Play
in area Senior Centers and retirement and nursing homes. Ask at
Christmastime to play in the mall. Get a friend to ring the
Salvation Army bell for the kettle while you play, hopefully
inside! Giving recitals has nothing to do with where your teacher
is. It's all about doing a lot of volunteer performances so that
you are heard. Word of mouth works, and in some venues you could
ask for a free-will offering rather than a set fee; you'll most
likely get more money that way. I say all this from experience,
mostly with voice in my case, and I hope it helps.
Blessings,
Linda
