Our Fall Recital

    This past Thursday, September 21, my piano students performed their Fall Recital, in beautiful Graves Recital Hall,

...and oh, how sweet the post-recital relief that follows, the upbeat feeling that we pulled it off - which indeed, we did, Gott sei Dank, from the youngest ones,

...on up the line,

...to the advanced,

...to the most advanced, who whipped through their ragtime pieces, Billy Joel's "Root Beer Rag"

...and Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag,"

...to those of us most advanced in piano years and experience, if not necessarily  in the pieces performed that night.

      But, as I always tell my students, a simple piece beautifully played is far better than a more advanced piece played less well.

    And so beautifully performed pieces at whatever our skill level is what we aim for, we spend all the hours of practicing, 

...and polishing,

​...and rehearsing,

...up until that last rehearsal-room practice,

...before it's showtime.
         Then, when it's all over,     

...how sweet it is!    

                  FEED YOUR BODY AND MIND!
