Piano practice

Rich is the one who really needs to write about playing the piano with Luke, but we did finally take some video clips today. Luke is THRILLED with himself on the piano, and he's trying to figure out how to play the theme song from "Star Wars" (of course!)

Piano recital

Luke had a great first piano recital - he played two pieces, one by himself and a duet with Rich. It was the only parent/child duet, which was really cool. We were nervous that he would have a meltdown like he did at the Christmas recital, but he kept his cool and did exactly what he was supposed to do. The best thing about the night is that he came home and was so excited that he played the piano for another half hour...bits of songs he has memorize, plus songs he made up.

Piano Recital

Luke's piano teacher had a very informal recital for her students tonight in her living room. About halfway through Luke looked up at me and said, "I'm scared." When it was his turn he burst into tears and refused to go to the front of the room. Later Rich talked him into going and they played a couple of duets, and Luke did just fine. His teacher Jamie said that isn't unusual for little kiddos.
