Libby had her piano recital tonight. She did a good job. They played on huge 10ft. grand piano. Their teacher said that Sir Paul McCartney had come to Utah recently for a concert & this is the one he used for the concert. Libby thought it was a little loud & the keys seemed slippery. It seemed like it was messing up quite a few of the kids. It was fun to hear all the Christmas songs.
She played Up On The Housetop & Deck The Halls.
Up On the Housetop was a duet with her teacher.
Here she is practicing before the recital.
We finally got a "real" piano & it is so fun to see her progress.
She literally doesn't walk past it without playing it now.
It was made in the 1890's & I love it. The style of the old pianos are so beautiful to me & we lucked out to get one that sounds good too. Someone told us we had to decide if we wanted a piece of furniture or an instrument...Luckily I think we found both qualities.
She was also so excited because I finally found a dress that came with a matching one for her doll.
They usually only come in the small sizes. There was one left in her size & the best part was the price...it didn't have a tag & the boy at the chekout said, "Does $9.99 sound fair?" I said, " it was probably at least $20.00" Then he replied, "$9.99 it is." Then I had a coupon & got 30% more off.
It was a fun night that we ended with dinner at Red Robin.
Good Job, Libby!
Here she is playing for us when we got home.
I didn't have the video from the recital because it was on Steve's phone & I'm not sure how to download it on here.
