after months of practicing, they finally had a chance to perform in front
of an audience other than their parents. both boys did well and felt good
about their performance.
here is finn oliver (age 12) performing The Tango Dramatico by catherine rollin.
he has come a long way in 5 years.
though finn's piece was more dramatic, scout's piece was actually the tougher
piece for his skill level. when i tried playing the sheet music scout was given,
i could hardly believe it. it was full of sharps and flats and tough reaches for
an 8 year old kid who's only been playing for 2.5 years.
he by far had the biggest challenge this time around. his teacher, mr. patrick,
acknowledged this publicly at the end of the recital when he gave scout a
little certificate for his dedication and perseverance. no matter what challenge
is thrown at this kid, scout gives it his all.
i'm one proud momma!
here is scout benjamin (age 8) performing Valse Semplice by dennis alexander.
