Please pray for my endoscopy this Thursday. Please pray that the doctors will find whatever is wrong with my stomach finally!

Piano Recital 2011

A_9 had her Suzuki piano recital yesterday. She played the song Musette and did a duet with her piano teacher to my favorite Suzuki song Goodbye to Winter. She looked so beautiful! Somebody else did her hair Nina... :)

A_9 and M_7 before the recital started!
Here is a video clip of her performance, on the second song you can hear her piano teacher playing along with her. I kept the camera on A_9 for obvious reasons!

Duet Recital 2010

Today was A8's Piano Duet Recital! She got to learn a non Suzuki song, Polka Dot Polka!
Her partner was Z7, who is her piano lesson buddy every week!

This song was a bit difficult to learn due to the fact that there was no music for her to listen to. All her Suzuki songs she learns by listening, not this one... she needed to look at the notes and somehow figure it out. After three weeks we were going nowhere so we scheduled a meeting with her teacher and I created a "cheat sheet" to help me know which fingers needed to go where.... we found a clip on YouTube of two girls playing the song and that helped a lot!!

Once she had her part down it was time to practice with her duet partner. We had four practices the week before the recital... The kids worked very hard and it shows, there where a couple of mistakes in the beginning but after that they were perfect!!

Here's a few pics of the kids at the recital!

Here is a clip of the performance!

Stage Odyssey

Piano Recital

Here is the video clip of her performance!

Piano Recital

A7 had her last piano recital of the semester last night. This recital was not only for piano but violin, cello and even singing. It was a lot of fun since we knew a lot of the performers.
A7 did a great job, she was the youngest performer there!
We are going to continue to send A7 to piano lessons through out the summer. It will only be 7 sessions, just so that she will continue to practice and not lose everything she's learned so far.
Then in the Fall she will start her regular piano lessons.

Let me see if I can get the video to load...

Piano Recital

Today was A7s very first piano recital! She was the first one to play, the recital lasted about an hour and 20 minutes. I was able to record it using my camera. It's not the best, but good enough. She looked absolutely beautiful! and played pretty good!

Enjoy!
