Spring Recital

Over the last 9 months, K-bao has made tremendous progress with piano. Last month, she had her second piano performance at Teacher Susie's Spring Recital. K-bao played 2 pieces, Bach's Minuet in G and Dinosaur Stomp (a natural pair, of course).

After the songs were all played, Teacher Susie handed out Certificates of Accomplishment.

In addition, as she does after each concert, Teacher Susie awarded two trophies, one for Most Improved and the other for Overall Honor Student. To everyone's surprise -- most of all K-bao's -- she was awarded the Honor Student prize, which goes to the student who shows up each and every lesson well-prepared and with a great attitude.

K-bao couldn't stop beaming.

A Duet

K-bao has shown remarkable progress since taking up the piano about 6 months ago. She can now handle basic tunes, and while we can't say that practicing through the hard pieces has been entirely devoid of whining, the K-folks are proud of her pluck and persistence to date.

Here she is playing a simple version of Bach's famous Minuet in G with K-Pop.
