Making Music

I am so grateful when Claire gets home from school

and plays the piano.

It is music to my ears...and my soul!

She has been taking from Ms. Ksenia for a year now

She works hard and she really does play with all her heart!

She is very close to finishing up the first Suzuki Book.

All the pieces must be played perfectly and by memory

to advance to the next level.

It is a very big accomplishment...she is getting very excited to receive her trophy!

She just put hands together on

Christmas Day Secrets

and it made her so happy to be able to play it.

It is beautiful!

Piano is one of the things that make for a busy week at our house

now that school has started.  I enjoy practicing with her

as is the Suzuki way, but she is very self motivated and sits to play

frequently when we are not "practicing", too!

I simply love having music in the house!  Thanks, Claire bear!
