Jake's 1st Piano Recital

Can I just say one word? Precious! Well, of course I am going to say more than one word! He was great! He was number 4 on the program and he got right up from his seat and sat down at the piano and played "The Little Drummer Boy". He did awesome! Then he stood up, turned around to take a bow and saw all eyes on him. He froze! He was like a deer in the headlights. He couldn't move. Bruce motioned him 3 times to come on back to the seat but it was like his feet where just planted there and his eyes as big as saucers! Bless his sweet little heart!

He had been practing Little Drummer Boy since October. He started taking lessons in September. We couldn't be any prouder of him! That is his teacher in the picture. I really like her. She has the patiences of Job. Every week she tells him the same thing about his fingering and timing with such kindness as if it was the first time she's told him.

I tried to upload the video we made to YouTube to share with ya all but I'm not computer smart! Next is Federation is March. That's where you are judged. He has a new piece all picked out. I'm impressed...it has sharps!
