Paino Recital 2011

The weekend before school started up, Aubrie and Boston had a piano recital. They are now back with Heather. She missed teaching them, and fit it in her busy school schedule. She combined with another teacher, since my kid are her only students. Boston played a song by Mozart, and a Star Wars Medly by John Williams. He probably would have played Clocks by Coldplay, if she would have let him. He plays that song every morning. In fact, a few weeks ago, Boston said there was a guy in the lunch room at school with a piano, advertising for his piano lessons. His friend got on and played a song out of his piano song book. Then Boston asked if he could get on and he played Clocks, of course. All his friends came over to watch and listen. Since then, he has been tagged as the musical kid! He said he is trying to get together a band! Ha! Ok, so back to the recital. He did a great job! The Stars War Medly was the hit! Lots of clapping!

Aubrie worked really hard on her piece. She played Morning Mood by Evard Grieg. It is a very pretty song, and it was difficult to play. I'm impressed that she stuck with it! She also had a great response from the audience. The kids also had to write up reports on their composers. I liked that they had to do that! It makes them really appreciate music more. I'm thankful for Heather, and her love for my kids and her patience when they go through there "musical slumps!" They are becoming great pianists. I can't wait till they are playing hymns from the song book for family home evenings! That what matters to me.
