After many weeks of waking up early on a Wednesday morning and getting into school at 8am for piano lessons, the end of term piano recital was upon us. With some last minute practicing completed on Tuesday evening we were up early and into school.
We went into the school dining area, had a last minute panic looking for Toby’s music book and then we were off! First up they each had to play one song each. Of our two, Harry was first up:

Followed soon after by Toby:

The teacher then invited any students up who wanted to play a second song. Harry got up quite quickly but Toby took a little more time to decide. Harry’s second performance went very well:

As did Toby’s:

At the end the teacher said a few words and gave out some prizes and certificates. First up was Toby who was one of two students who got to choose two prizes for “being inspirational”. Harry also got to choose two prizes as he was in the top 5 students in the class – which was pretty impressive considering there were some two handed piano players on show!
What clever, musical children we have. Not sure where they get that from!!
