Piano Recital

On Saturday afternoon we went back over to the church building for Kolby’s piano recital. There were eight kids who played at the recital, including Kolby and four of the piano teacher’s children. I had to include these two videos from the recital. Kolby’s teacher gave him compliments before and after he played, saying that he was doing very well for his level [he has had 6 piano lessons so far] and that she didn’t know if it was his mom or his dad who was helping him learn so much, but he always did so well and came back for each lesson knowing more each week (we did tell her afterwards that we don’t do much more than try to make sure he practices most every day, and he is learning most everything on his own). She also held up his music book to show all the other kids after Kolby played his last song, and showed them how well Kolby had done to play such a long song. I have to admit, it’s pretty fun to hear a teacher compliment your child, especially when he has done so well with practicing and deserves the praise. So, anyways, Kolby played his songs well. Although he only had two songs listed on the program, he decided to add a couple more and ended up playing four songs. After each student played their songs the teacher handed them a little bag of treats. It was pretty cute when, after Kolby finished playing, Camden hopped up and said he wanted to play too. Kolby’s piano teacher is nice, and let Camden play for a few minutes, and when we told him it was time to be done, he quickly asked for a treat of his own. Pretty smart kid! After the recital was over, Eli also wanted to play for a few minutes. And later on that afternoon Kolby’s teacher had one of her boys bring over an extra treat bag for Camden and Eli to share – so thoughtful. So, it ended up being a very nice first recital, and I was very glad, too, that Michael got home from work early enough that afternoon to be there with us for the entire recital too.
