Bravo, Ella!

On Friday night Ella participated in her second annual piano recital.  We're thankful for all the passion for music her wonderful teacher invests in her each week.  Though staying on top of the daily practice definitely takes work, we're also thankful that Ella continues to love to play and desires to keep improving.  Here are some videos of the two songs she played.  The first is a solo called "Shadows" and the second is a duet with her teacher called "Yankee Doodle Dazzle."



We went back and watched Ella's recital videos from last year.  It was fun to see not only how she's improved musically, but also how the several inches she's grown this year have brought her dangling feet to the floor! :)


This was a fun night to celebrate Ella and all the hard work she puts into learning the piano.  We had fun visiting with the other families Miss Sara teaches and we went out as a family for ice cream afterward.

Go Ella! So exciting to see you grow in your love for music & piano especially. I remember all those piano recitals I did when I was a kid. They helped me not just in music but learning to be in front of people - something God asks me to do a lot now as a adult! ;)
