April 28, 2012. Jackson, Mississippi. The Recital.

The children were wearing their best and looked beautiful.   They all looked nervous.   Their teacher is Russian and is very strict.  I was looking forward to hearing and seeing the piano recital this morning, held at The Municipal Art Gallery.  It was a lovely event.

24 budding pianists performed beautifully.  Everyone made an error or two but kept their composure and continued their playing.   Kate and Mary Frances have been taking lessons for only two years.  They both play very musically and most importantly, they enjoy the playing of the piano.   Of the 24 budding pianists,  most were girls.  There were 8 Asian students, three of them boys.  And  of the rest,  all were girls except 3 Caucasian boys.

All children played well within their capabilities so the pieces were all played well.  The parents and grandparents were pleased and so was the teacher.   In addition to parents, our row held 3 grandparents and 2 grand aunt and uncle.  We clapped hard!!
