Forgive me for being a little nostalgic here. I know many parents have gone to piano recitals with their kids but this was my first and I was so proud of my little girl and so impressed again with her teacher.
Lindsay did really well at her piano recital--and she's only had 3 months of lessons! Her teacher is the youngest of 3 sisters who all give lessons at their own home (12 minutes away from our house!!). Their father has built them a music studio that is separate from the house where each of the girls take a day of the week and teach music lessons. Each of these 3 girls have or are working on graduating from the Music Conservatory. It was a special treat to hear all 3 girls place pieces of their own that they have written--and not only on piano either. No, we were treated to an amazing piece written by one of the girls for the piano and then later heard a piece that included the harp and flute as well. Lindsay's teacher is very high in both her flute and piano. Well, those girls made an amazing trio--flute, piano and harp.
Anyways, I was able to talk to Lindsay's teacher after the recital. Lindsay has a natural 'knack' for piano and you can tell her heart is in it. The teacher, who is also soon becoming a member within our church, says we can teach her some hymns to play at future recitals if we want. I asked if we could teach her the old Genevan Psalms. Also, no problem! Lindsay may also pick what she wants to learn to play. It is such a blessing to have a godly music teacher. She is so encouraging for Lindsay and Lindsay absolutely adores her. The best thing is, since her teacher has extremely high credentials, I never need to find another teacher for Lindsay if she wants to pursue this piano gift in depth.
I got a picture of the two of them doing a duet last night.
I believe there were a couple of grandmothers and as well as the mother whose bra size increased when Lindsay walked up there and did so well and then took her little curtsy!!!!!
