Christmas Recital

This post is a little out of order, the girls had their Christmas piano recital last Thursday the 15th but I didn't get the pictures downloaded that evening. This year, Jeni Cutts, their piano teacher has 19 students so the recital lasted longer than in the past but it was great. She has several talented students and it's always nice to hear Christmas music being played on the piano. Here is Ali, she played 'O Christmas Tree'
Emily played a medley of Christmas songs, including 'O Come All Ye Faithful, Silent Night and Hark the Harold Angels Sing'
Lindsay and Kenna played a duet of 'Carol of the Bells'. Lindsay also did a solo piece called 'Tarantella' it's not a Christmas song but she worked super hard on it at the beginning of the year and had it memorized so her teacher wanted her to be able to perform it.
A big sigh of relief after the recitals are over, each of my girls get so nervous when they have to play in front of others. I keep telling them that's it's good for them and one day it will subside and will become easier. Here they are with Jeni, their teacher and a wonderful friend of mine!
They all did an amazing job and I am so proud of them for continuing on in taking piano lessons. I know it's not always easy and there are times when it's down right frustrating but they push through and I can surely see the progress each of them is making in developing this great talent. I love hearing each of them play!
