Lucy's "Recital"

Lucy has been working very diligently to learn a new song on the piano to surprise Daddy for Christmas.  I decided early on in the learning process that we would pretend like she was preparing for a big "recital," and that getting dressed up, introducing herself and the song, and entering and exiting the "stage" were a must! Lucy loved this idea, and it motivated her to work really hard!

It was great fun teaching her the song, and even more fun watching her enthusiasm and excitement as she prepared for the big reveal and eventually reached her goal.   She worked especially hard on the correct fingering,  the flats, and reaching those high notes with her tiny little hands. After much practice, some difficulties and frustrations, and a ton of progress, here it is......... "Silent Night:"

(Brian loved it!)
