A Piano Recital

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.

  1. 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!!!!!
