Let's Play Music Recital

Colby and Emily have learned so much about music this year in their Let's Play Music classes.  This was Colby's first year in the program and he loved going to music class with his new friends Gideon and Owen.  This was Emily's third and final year in the program.  She has improved her piano skills so much and has learned a lot about music theory and technique.  I also learned a lot by going to class with her!  Their music recital was this week and they did so well.

Colby and the first years performed a musical puppet show for us.  They also sang the songs they had learned and performed on the bells.  Colby was excited to be in the recital even if he doesn't really look like it in these pictures.  They all did very well.

For the third years, each student composed their own piece of music and then preformed it for us.  They title of Emily's piece was "Me and Kit"  She wrote it about her playtime with her doll Kit.  I think she did very well and was the best one at the concert (but I may be a little biased!).  She did great though.
Then together the first and third years sang "Do, Re, Mi"  The recital was really good and all of the kids did a great job.

When the recital was over, each musician received a special award.  The kids were so excited to show off their certificate and prizes.

Here is Colby with is instrument and music teacher, Miss Natalie.  Colby loved being in her class.

Here is Emily with her instrument and music teacher, Miss Angela.  Emily learned so much from her and has enjoyed playing the piano this year.
Good Job Colby and Emily! You are both turning into great musicians.
