Piano recital has come and gone. We have all been taking piano from our teacher Melissa for the last 4 months. Caitlin and Gracie have a bit more experience under their belts. They both took lessons in Guam. The rest of us are newbies. Melissa gave us our recital music after only one month of lessons with her. I looked at mine and thought "ummm I can barely play a scale and you want me to play this?!!" I put on a brave face and practiced, practiced, practiced. There were a few tense moments and I really did believe that Melissa had more faith in us than we had in ourselves. The other girls seemed to be struggling along also. Weeks went by and gradually you could begin to hear what sounded like actual music coming from the direction of the piano. Recital day arrived and lo and behold we had our music memorized and we were ready to play. Ahhh a sigh of relief breathed deeply! The recital took place at our house. Caitlin and Holly, Abbie and Me, Gracie and teacher Melissa played duets together.
Melissa helps Caitlin and Holly put the finishing touches on their duet before the recital.
Gracie and Melissa run through it one more time before the big event.
There we are on the back row awaiting our turns.
