Piano Recital(s)

Tori just started taking piano lessons a couple of months ago. She is so excited. She gets frustrated really easily, but she is working really hard. They had a Christmas recital, but Nana and Papa were going to be out of town, so they got a private performance.

(Her nervous bow was kind of adorable!)
Tori had told Miss Ellie at her lesson that week that she was nervous, and even though she had her piece memorized, she wanted to bring her book just in case. She also wanted Miss Ellie to sit on the bench with her while she played. We were in the car, getting ready to go, and she told me that she didn't need her book. I was a little nervous, but tried to trust her. We left the book home. I worried and worried. When we got to the recital she told Miss Ellie that she could sit alone on the bench...what? She was making me so nervous for her! Well, as you can tell from the video, I was the only one that was worried. She ROCKED it! I am SO proud of you T! You are so wonderful!

Hooray for Piano! I'm so glad her first recital was so great--and she came through with all that confidence at the last minute too. NEVER let her quit :)
