as it was intended to be a spring recital and got postponed
after their teacher, was pulled into a local show
{he plays the piano and is an orchestral conductor for a number
of theaters throughout san diego}.
since the music studio is super tiny, i offered up our home
again as our home has space to host about 20 comfortably in our
living room.
we rented white chairs, dusted my 20+ year old piano off and
watched 13 kids play their recital pieces and a few of
the students even sang which added a whole level of fun.
the oldest of the vocalists was about 16 and she sang adelaide's lament from
guys and dolls.
she was wonderfully talented. she had the vocal range and even got
into character when she performed. c grinned at me from across the
room as he knows the song well and that the music carries fond memories for me.
the boys performed two pieces. i'm sharing just the one for each boy here on my
blog as the songs are pretty long. they played very well and thoroughly
enjoyed themselves. here's my little, at 8 years old, performing in his 2nd recital:
and next up was finn, our 11 year old.
i believe this is was his 5th recital.
~ the same evening, after the boys were in bed, i picked up the sheet music to
finn's piece, and found myself struggling a bit with the timing.
his music is getting more complicated every year and i'm guessing in two years,
we will be at the same skill level. it's so exciting!
