Piano Recital

We had a great piano recital Monday night.  It was so fun to watch the students finally get to play their pieces for an audience after weeks of preparation!  For many, this was their first recital and nerves were high, but I’m glad they moved past that and had the experience of playing in front of others (without tears…that’s always a plus.) :)

Here are a few pictures from the evening:DSC01897

I was surprised that all 19 of my students were able to be at the recital and play…that was a blessing!

I couldn’t resist posting this…Dean’s laughing face is priceless.

The “W” family gave me some beautiful roses…and this little lady wanted to be in the picture too. :)  (I look incredibly tired here…possibly because I was…or maybe just relieved….)

Food and fellowship.

Future student?

I have found that being a piano teacher is a very rewarding task.  It’s such a blessing to be able to take a gift given by the Lord and invest it in the lives of others and then watch them use it too.  I’m grateful for all my students and the opportunity I have to teach them, and in the process I learn so much too!

Amazing pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us. I tried taking piano lessons a couple years or so ago and I was horrible at it.


I would love if you stopped by my blog and followed me.

Many blessings,
Maggie

Dearest Megan,
Though this comment is late in coming, I want you to know how proud I am of you in teaching these students. When you stood before them, I asked myself, "Who is that young lady?" It was my own daughter! God is good to give me a wonderful young lady who is pouring her life and His gifts into others. May your efforts bear fruit for our Savior now and forever. Love - Dad
