On Saturday night, the oldest four children performed in a piano recital at the Steinway Gallery. This was a special night for Joseph, as he had only performed in one recital before, a single Christmas song more than a year ago. So, this really felt like his first real recital!
They all worked hard and are at different places on their journeys with learning music, learning how to learn, learning how to practice, learning how to perform . . . and we're proud of them all for what each one is learning!
Joseph (newly 6) performed:
- Old MacDonald Had a Farm
- I've Been Working on the Railroad
Margaret (almost 8) performed:
- Arabesque by Friedrich Burgmuller
- First Dancing Lesson by Komanetsky
Mary (10) performed the following but would not like her video posted:
- Aria by Handel
- Spokane Falls by Labenske
- Perpetual Motion by Andre Previn
- Inquietude by Moskowski
- Alla Tarantella by Edvard MacDowell
John (12) performed:
- Sonata in C Major K. 95 L. 358
- Grand Tetons by Valerie Roubos
- Concerto in C Major 1st Mvt by Haydn
- Consolation by Mendelssohn
- Jazz Exercise by Oscar Peterson
I enjoyed listening to these. I think I'm going to learn the Arabesque, it fits in with the things I am currently learning.
