Introducing Piano Student of the Year...Nathan

Piano recital was this weekend. Straight to the biggest news from recital...Nathan won the Student of the Year award. We are so proud of Nathan and his hard work.

To get this award from their teacher, you have to be prepared each week for your lesson. This means getting your theory done, lots of practice on your pieces and going above and beyond what she asks of you. Wow, wow, wow!!!!

(Proud mom notes: It joins the Student of the Year award Andrew received in 2006 on their trophy shelf.)

Both boys also received a medal for receiving a superior rating at the State Music Festival. They also got an award certificate for excellent theory scores and a certificate for achieving a standard of excellence because they got a Superior Rating PLUS high theory scores.

Before the recital, I got their pictures next to the grand piano.

This video is Nathan playing "You're a Grand Old Flag."

This video is Andrew playing "Shenandoah."

Nathan's Christmas song was "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer."

Andrew's Christmas song was "Deck the Halls."

It was a wonderful night of beautiful music.
