I can't believe it's been so long since Ariel had her recital! But we had it on September 7th at my in-law's house. Monica had been her teacher over the summer, as an introduction the the violin, and she did great! She did not like practicing, and there were tears over the commitment some days, but she was so proud of herself and loved being able to play songs!
She was really excited about being able to perform her first recital for the family. There were a couple mistakes, but mostly from the accompaniment messing her up a bit. ; ) There was also one mistake that she caused because she was going her own pace instead of playing together with the piano. It can be a hard skill to develop in little ones, but at any rate, she was REALLY great! She loved it, even though she was quite nervous after she messed up, but everyone was encouraging her to keep going. Then of course, she got an a
ward and some flowers and that made her smile.But at the end of the ordeal, she decided that even though she loved playing and performing, she didn't want to put in the effort of practicing and learning new skills on it (It can be quite daunting when you're so young). Maybe next summer we'll give it another go or try out a different instrument. She's an automatic charmer when performing, that's for sure!
