Piano Recital

I’ve never been more proud of anyone than I was of Luca tonight. She had her first piano recital in front of at least 50 people at the church.

The recital included about 20 other kids and Luca was first on the program. And it’s a good thing because she was nervous and had a hard time introducing her number. Kim walked up on stage with her and helped settle her down.

But once Luca sat at the piano she was so calm and collected it came through in her music. She played “There stands a little man” from Hansel and Gretel. She played at the right pace and hit all the right notes. She was absolutely fantastic! She has a real gift and talent for music that we hope to cultivate over the years. She must have Kim’s music gene.

I wish we had captured her playing on tape for you to see. I never thought that watching my 6 year old daughter play the piano would have such an impact on me. But watching her play tonight went right to my heart.
