Piano Recital

Laurel has stated taking piano lessons through her school and she is absolutely loving them.  It wouldn't have been something I would have sought out for her, but after she took a free lesson she would not stop talking about it so we signed her up. Her attention to detail and ability to focus makes this a perfect activity for her. They teach them by putting colored dots on their fingers then the kids match their fingers to the colors on the piano keys for each note.

Today they had their first recital.  The kids ranged in age from 3-5 and it was great to watch them get up and play their songs.  Laurel was a bit too shy to perform in front of the audience of parents and other kids (which wasn't a big shock to us knowing her personality), but she did play her song for me once everyone else was done.

You can't really hear the song because all the other kids were done and leaving at this point, but you can see her concentration as she plays and her matching the colors on her fingers to the notes.  I was very proud of her!
