First Piano Recital

Kylee has been taking piano lessons from her mom for about a year now. We have her practice at our house every day (except Sunday). It has been fun to watch her develop and grow as she has learned to read music, play with both hands, learned about playing piano and forte, learned about repeats, ties, rests, etc.

I was a little disappointed when I realized her mom didn't put on recitals for her piano students... so we decided to put on our own! And one advantage of doing our own recital was that Kylee would be the only performer :-)

So several weeks ago, Kylee and I planned her recital. She decided which songs she wanted to play and we talked about who to invite. We made and emailed invitations and then Kylee practiced her songs so she was ready for the big day. Her recital was last night and we had a great turnout of family - there were 20 of us all together! Kylee did so well and Matt and I were so proud of her. I think Kylee was pretty proud of herself too. Here is a quick clip of a couple of her pieces:
