Piano Recital

Unfortunately, I don't have photos of my piano recital this year, only video and it is not uploading very well. So I will document the occasion by posting without pictures. I held the recital at a different location this year and it was wonderful. First of all it was much closer, 2 minutes from my house. Second, it is a recital hall, not a storage facility for excess pianos, it was beautiful. Finally, there were plenty of comfortable chairs, the piano was on a stage with great lighting and the owners of the facility were wonderful in accomplishing every request and even offering options I didn't know existed. I had 27 students out of 33 participate this year and they all did great. There were plenty of nervous participants, myself included. I'm so proud of the hard work and accomplishment of each one. They all worked really hard and were able to celebrate that hard work by performing for a large audience. It was a great recital and I'm looking forward to next year. Mackenzie played The Bell Song, Dayton played Freight Train and Alexa played The Room of Requirement.

I'm glad it went well! Congrats to all your students...I'm sad to say my kid was one that didn't participate. : ( Maybe when I tell him how many did, he will do it next year!

You sound very professional! I'm teaching Jackson and he can't wait until he's good enough to play some Harry Potter stuff. Do you know of any simple pieces?
