The end of the school year means another piano recital. This year's color scheme was black, white and aqua.
It's always fun for me to get out my piano/music themed decorations to put up in the cultural hall.
I borrowed all the black and white damask tablecloths and table runners from someone who had used them at a wedding reception.
As usual, I played lots of duets with the students, plus played a solo number. Gabe and I are playing a fun "Chopsticks" duet in the photo below.
In December 2013 I put up power poing slides with pictures representing the song the student was playing. For this recital I took it one step further, and included not only the name of the song and a picture to represent it, but pictures of the students from previous recitals.
Through the years I've had many siblings or parent with siblings play trios, but for the first time I tried three brothers playing a trio. They stayed together for about the first three measures, and then they all just played their parts and made no attempt to listen to each other and stay together. It will probably be the LAST time I have three brothers play a trio!!
A neighbor gave me a cute wonky piano with piano key spreaders. I was excited to use it for the first time for the pepper jelly and cream cheese spread I put on my keyboard serving plate. I love it.
Here's my good-looking group of students. Another successful piano recital under my belt; that's always a good feeling!

You do amazing things! You should become an event planner.
Dad is always such a good sport--donning the keyboard tie and suspenders. :) As always, great job, mom! You neglected to explain about the cake, though...
