Harp Recital!


Last Saturday my students got to do their first performance which we nicknamed a "Recital."  I took the girls to go play at the hospital that I play at and the Hospital was so excited that they are doing a news story on our little group!  (Hooray!)  The girls did so well.  I always wondered what it felt like to be a teacher at one of my recitals and now I have a little taste of it.  I was actually really nervous that there was something that I didn't teach them that they needed to know...I wonder if thats how my teachers felt-but either way it was most rewarding.  Having my students be able to get up in front of a number of people to perform is fantastic in and of itself-but to have them willingly play for those that are in need of comfort was even better.  Anyway they did a great job and I'm so grateful for the things that I am learning from them.
BIG THANKS:  Thank-you so much to Michelle Dixon and her fabulous camera skills.  She videotaped everything as well. 

All of us-we are pretty cute...
Dominique!  Amazing that she wanted to perform even though her first lesson was the Tuesday prior to it!
Even I got in on the fun
Andrea, she looks like she's meant to be behind a harp...
Sweet Rachel, and we especially loved her Bows
Perfect Sarah, with perfect and envious Hand position!
