After the Recital
We went to the piano recital which three of our grandchildren were in on Saturday. Each of them did very well and I'm pleased that I was able to attend their recital. After the recital, their piano teacher told Elsa that she had played one of the repeats three times instead of twice. Elsa was totally into it and didn't realize that she'd played it three times. She seemed to be enjoying it.
Any way, after I got home, I got to remembering my childhood friend, Grace. She took accordian lessons when she was very young. At Christmas, for the program at church, she played Silent Night. Someone put a chair on the platform for her and she sat on the chair and then they handed her the accordian and she played. She played it over and over until they took the accordian from her.
Silent Night is the only song that I knew my friend to play. I don't think she took accordian lessons for very long. Unlike my childhood friend, Elsa plays many other songs and playing music will be an important part of her life as the years go by.
