My First Piano Recital

I didn't get pictures!! I forgot to ask Ben to take pictures, but it was still a great success. The recital was at Best In Music yesterday at 5 pm. I had 6 students that played, ages 5 (barely) to mid 20s. They each played 2 pieces memorized, well most of them. I played a piece at the end and then I gave out these cute little treat bags. I made them on Saturday morning during conference. I even made little music shapes out of foam paper.

My one regret, besides not taking pictures, was forgetting 2 duets for the level one students. I did one by memory and the other was totally impromptu. It actually turned out fine, but I felt bad for one student that looked at me with a "What are you playing?" look. It was a very basic accompaniment, so no one could tell. Luckily she did great and we just laughed. There was some rushing and nervous mistakes but honestly everyone did very well. I was SO pleased. A BIG thank you to Ben and my mom for coming to support me.
