First Piano Recital

Maddie just participated in her first piano recital.  Bizarrely, it was held on Mother's Day but it ended up being just fine.  She did great.  Only because I have heard her practice her song so often, I recognized a spot where she messed up just a bit, but she recovered perfectly and I doubt anybody else would have even noticed.

Back in April, Maddie participated in a piano competition, obviously her first ever.  We didn't have any clue what to expect because we had obviously not done it before.  We learned quickly that there were several groups of kids, based upon their level.  Each child played their piece and was then given a score.  After all the kids played, the top three performers from each group were invited to a special concert.  The highest score from each level got to play their piece at the concert, but the other two were recognized and received a trophy.  We were pleasantly surprised to learn that Maddie was the number two player in her group, so we got to go to the concert.  It was very exciting for her and a huge honor.  As always, we were so proud!

All ready to go in a play at the competition

 



These are the second place winners from each level
