I had my annual piano recital on December 9th with a full house and 23 of my 30 students participating. Musical selections are always a mix ranging from popular to classical to Christmas music to celebrate the season because I believe the students perform best when they are performing the music they love.
Over the years the students have organized a variety of presentations to showcase their musicianship. This year was no different. One of my fourth graders accompanied her mother as she sang, and a second grade student accompanied herself as she presented two vocal solos. Though the afternoon is fraught with stress and nervousness, it is still a wonderful musical memory maker for everyone involved.
My thanks to all the parents, grandparents and care-givers who make it possible for the children to participate and to all the adults who choose to put yourself on the line for a thee to five minute performance! I love sharing my love for the piano with you all!
