Formal Family Recital

I had so much fun watching my piano students and harp student perform at our recital! It was so rewarding to see all their hard work pay off. Each played a duet and/or a solo.

I was especially pleased to see their ensemble skills grow with the duets.

Big thank you to Elizabeth Brant who took these beautiful photos, and to Ben and Rachel who hosted the recital in their home. This was definitely the highlight of my year of teaching music!
