Destiny’s Spring Piano Recital

This past Saturday was Destiny’s piano recital…So the first video was her playing the two songs…The first song was Galloping Ponies..and the second one was Fur Elise…I was nervous for her..I was probably more nervous then she was and I wasn’t even playing..it took me back to about 20 years ago..when I was sitting there waiting to do my piano recital..boy did I hate that..but I never stuck with it.and Destiny has and she has a real talent that God has blessed her with..it just comes naturally to this girl..and she plays so beautiful….especially when no one is watching her..and she just lets it go…she does way better..the first one she did mess up on but I think it was her nerves that got the best of her..

The second video she is playing her favorite..they have a “Our Favorites” section of the recital where they get to pick a favorite..just one they they really love and enjoy playing where you don’t really pay attention to anything and just play..and she picked The Hokey Pokey..and she did way better in this one..but I love to see how far she has come over time..

This summer Brielle is going to start piano lessons too..she really wants to so we will see If she has the music ability in her..I don’t know if she will stick with it but we will see..Destiny has been so determined to play songs from our church book so she practices all the time  bc she knows that it just doesn’t come over night..but I think we are almost there..and she is excited about that..she played one song out of and plays it over and over and over now..but its ok..we are all used to it by now:)

p.s. I had Avery’s second IEP meeting today..hopefully I can update all of you on that later this week.

My mom made me take piano lessons until 12th grade and I'm so glad she did. Destiny plays beautifully!
