Competitions

The Benefits of Piano Competitions for Young Musicians

Parents and piano teachers often encourage their children and students to go beyond casual practice and studio recitals by participating in piano competitions. There is growing evidence that such competitions not only support musical development but also foster overall personal growth.
Educators, coaches, and musicians agree that the healthy sense of competition developed through these events goes far beyond musicianship—it teaches discipline, builds confidence, enhances motivation, and promotes creativity.

1. An Amplified Learning Experience
Few environments offer as many concentrated opportunities for musical growth as piano competitions.
Renowned pianist, author, and judge Dr. Ruth Slenczynska writes in her article “On Preparation for a Piano Competition” that these events allow students to perform on high-quality instruments before informed and engaged audiences.
Participants also often receive individualized feedback from seasoned professionals.
The immersive and inspiring atmosphere of a competition offers invaluable experiences that regular lessons alone cannot replicate.

2. A Path to Opportunity
Beyond self-improvement, competitions can lead to tangible rewards.
Recognition from judges or winning awards can boost a student’s confidence and open doors to scholarships, mentorships, and even career opportunities.
For many young musicians, competitions serve as important stepping stones on their musical journey.

3. Developing Superior Musicianship
Bärli Nugent, Assistant Dean and Director of Chamber Music at The Juilliard School, describes competition as a “framework for learning.”
Preparing for a competition requires focused, intentional practice and teaches students how to fully master every aspect of their repertoire.
Students also develop performance skills under pressure—learning to handle nerves, accept critique, and grow from both success and failure.
As Dr. Slenczynska notes, students often work harder and more efficiently when preparing for competitions, making them excellent tools for deep musical development.

4. Personal Growth and Resilience
Competitions not only build better musicians—they build stronger people.
Not everyone will win, but everyone gains something valuable.
Psychologist Dr. Sylvia Rimm emphasizes that the process of identifying mistakes, receiving feedback, and setting new goals builds resilience and problem-solving skills that benefit a child far beyond the piano bench.

5. A Culture of Excellence
In their 1999 study “Winning Isn’t Everything”, John Tauer and Judith Harackiewicz found that children involved in competitive activities display higher levels of enjoyment and motivation than those in non-competitive ones.
Likewise, Professors Edward Deci and Richard Ryan noted that when children are motivated, they show increased creativity, perseverance, and self-esteem.
Competitions help build a mindset of excellence that can carry over into many areas of life.

Encouraging your young pianist to participate in competitions will not only elevate their musical skills, but also instill life lessons that promote confidence, resilience, and a lifelong passion for growth and excellence.
