Kara played the entire book from memory... all eighteen songs! And then played four duet pieces with her teacher.
We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful piano teacher. Kara has learned so much since she started lessons in June! The kids have spent the last month or so learning about Bach and they know all kinds of Bach trivia... did you know Bach had twenty children??
Kara received support from her brothers... Jason helped make cookie dough and both boys helped to decorate all of the cookies. Ben was very complimentary of Kara's performance and Jason did his best to keep quiet.
Kara was lucky to have grandparents and uncles travel into town to attend her first recital.
Kara really worked hard and Sho and I sat, very emotional, watching our little girl in amazement of how much she's grown and accomplished. We are so proud.
When the kids started piano lessons, Sho would try and play what Kara and Ben were playing... and he was good up until the right and left hands did not play the same notes, which was probably the third song.
I was able to keep up with the kids and sometimes we'd joke about how I could do a recital as well... But Book 2 is no joke and Kara has definitely passed me up quickly!
Cheers to Kara for a job well done!
