Proud Mom!


This past Sunday was the 2009 Piano Recital for Mallie and 26 other students. Everyone played several pieces - some four hand stuff, some with their teacher playing accompaniment. Mal played "Orientale" (Tansman), "March of the English Guard" (Clarke) and "My Daydream" (Faber). Every year (I missed last year's recital due to performances of "..Forum") plaques and trophies are handed out. And, since 2005, there has been a "Top Ten Award". Reading from the program.."Top Ten Award for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place awards in the following areas and Honor Awards (4th - 10th place) in 2 or more: 1/ Theory, 2/ Technique, 3/Sightreading, 4/Memory, 5/ Piano Performance, 6/ Lesson attendance.

The 2009 Top Ten Award winner is.... MALLIE!!!! WHOOOO HOOO!!

Reading on I can see that a 9th grade boy has been sweeping it since it was started so I felt pretty great about my girl grabbing it on her 2nd recital. Last year's recital was Mal's first and she had only just started lessons.

I was one proud mom. Congrats, sweetheart!
