Piano Recital - Kylie

Kylie playing Sonatina in C Major at her recital tonight.  Kylie and Matthew both played 2 songs tonight, but I think I only have the patience to post 1 each.  Kylie did better on her 2nd song, but I like this one better so I'm posting it.  Kylie has been playing for about 2 and a half years now, and she's still loving it.

Piano Recital - Matthew


Matthew playing 'Camp Song' at his piano recital tonight.  He has been playing for about 10 months.  His teacher has more boy students than girls - there were 8 boys and 4 girls tonight.  It's pretty fun to see so many little boys play the piano.

Piano

Kylie & Matthew had a Christmas piano recital on December 3rd.  Matthew did really well for only having lessons for a couple months.  Kylie has been playing for 2 years now, and she was able to play prelude for church on the organ a couple months ago.  It was so cute to see her up there - she had to sit on 2 hymn books to be able to see her music from the organ bench.  I am so proud of both of my kids for practicing and working hard.  Here is a video of both of them at their recital...
