Piano Rectial

Our lovely Emma has been playing piano since 3rd grade and this year for the first time she played in the piano recital. Every year Emma has missed the annual recital because it has overlapped with the annual Girl Scout Encampment weekend. This year though encampment was moved one weekend and she was able to attend. The recital is held in the church where her teachers, who are mother and daughter, hold their lessons. We filed into our pew and were happy to share the excitement of seeing Emma perform. It was a large group of students from elementary to high school age and they each played one piece. It moved quickly and had a lot of variety in both skill and style of music. Emma was the 2nd to last to play and did a beautiful job. She played "Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy. She played without sheet music, impressive as always.  Emma said she was nervous and was shaking a little.  But she heard Hanna talking half-way through her performance and it made her smile and relax. We are so proud of her.
