Our Budding Pianist

Joy and I attended one of her teacher's monthly "play parties" today (no goats this time).


Joy played "Cuckoo," the same piece she played at her first party about a year ago, but this time she did it with both hands and it sounded like a lovely, complex song instead of just a simple tune for a beginning student to play with one hand.  I'm impressed with the progress Joy has made in her first year of lessons.  

I'm also glad that she often sits down to play something just for the fun of it.  She plays Suzuki songs she's learned, her own minor-key "variations" of them, and other familiar tunes that she figures out on her own.  I hope she will continue to enjoy music and creativity as she gets older.
