spring piano recital, may 2013

this week is flying by and before any more time passes,
i wanted to be do a short entry on finn's recent piano recital.

in october of this year, i think it will be 2 years since he started playing.
gosh, it seems like just yesterday he was learning what numbers his fingers
were and where middle c was.  now he knows what a sharp and flat are,
what forte and allegro means, and how to use the damper pedal
{now if only he could reach it better}

when asked about piano, finn will say he likes it,
but is always quick to share that it's not his passion.
i think he likes it because it's a creative outlet for him,
and it helps that there was something on nova science now
discussing research that shows how playing a musical instrument
helps with math. since finn wants to be a scientist, that was enough.

scoutie has been patiently waiting to start lessons and
we agreed he will start up this fall - just before he enters first grade.
he's ready.

patiently awaiting his turn

no major incidents to report this recital.
finn {and mom} remembered his sheet music,
i had my camera and phone charged and ready to go,
and i even arrived early.

i can't say the same for my other half.
he was playing street hockey with our canadian neighbor
and some guys {his new weekend thing}. he showed up 5 minutes
before finn played and didn't smell like a hockey player either. whew!
{i was worried he might not have time to go home and shower}
