Well tonight was the annual Piano recital at Ms. Petra's house.
Petra Rohrbaugh is our piano teacher, and she has done amazing things with the boys!
John has been playing for 3 1/2 years and is coming along so well. He is very good about practicing and music has really helped him in many other areas. It was so neat watching his performance.
Brendan is also doing very well. I don't think he enjoys getting up in front of people very much, but he did great! Petra has such a positive effect on him. He does enjoy playing at home, though, and he knows that "Spring" by Vivaldi is one of my favorites!
Paul has been working hard. He hasn't been playing very long and he really has taken to it. I am very proud of him!
All the kids did an amazing job! There was some real talent in that room. The Hoppel kids and the Moore girls played beautifully, as did Christine Tellup. We are so blest to have so much talent in our little circle. John cracked me up when he said at the end : " I had no idea that so many kids in my Science class were so talented on the piano!" His teacher, Lisa Tellup, said "Hmmm, maybe it's the teacher!" Well, it helps that Petra went to a lot of trouble to be sure that our recital would be with people we know. It makes it so nice!
