Piano recital

Thursday, April 14, 2011
M&M, Luke and Blondie participated in their first piano recital this year put on by their teacher. The kids had a little over a month to learn their piece and to memorize it. The teacher is someone who used to live in our ward and they moved out several years ago to a neighborhood not too far from the kids' elementary school. There are two other families in our ward that have 3 kids each taking lessons from her as well so it was nice to see how all of the kids are doing on the piano.None of our kids were too excited about having to dress up and perform in front of people, but I think it is good experience for them and they all did well. Blondie was the first one to perform after the teacher and her daughter played a duet and she was so nervous introducing herself and her song. After she was finished playing, she sat down next to me and just started crying - I think it was a release from the stress she was feeling, plus the relief of being done with her song and performing it well.
