Isaiah's Piano Recital

This must be Isaiah's month. He has had a lot going on and May happens to be his grand finale! His night he had his end of the year piano recital. He played two numbers that he memorized and he did fantastic. The theme for the recital was Pianimals. Both of his numbers had titles that had to do with animals. He played both of his songs on an electric keyboard which allowed him to add sound effects to the songs. One of his songs was about an eagle soaring and he composed the sound effects all by himself.

Here he is playing in an ensemble. There were probably 8 different keyboards and all of the kids play one song together. They all have different parts that contribute to the finished product! They also did a Peter and the Wolf production to music. Isaiah played Peter. He has become quite the actor thanks to his experience in the school musical.

This is how we keep the children entertained during a 1-1/2 hour long piano recital. They all take turns taking pictures around the room. This is one that Grace took of the three of us. Nate was out in the hall with Ella a lot of the time because she is very loud and way to curious about everything around her.
