Guitar Recital

Matt & Marlie had their year end guitar recital back in April. On this night I get to watch BOTH of my little people perform and it never lasts long enough. 

Marlie started off and performed 2 songs including one of my favorites, Light & Dark. She continues to improve and is sounding like a real classical guitarist! You can't hear very well in the video below (breaks my heart) but I'll post it anyway.  There is a pause between the two songs but it's quick!
Matt did really well too.  This was the first time he didn't seem nervous. He was very confident and played so well. 
Mrs. Kristi likes for them to practice playing together so they performed a duo as well.  At home there is usually a bit of fighting...someone's going too fast, someone's going too slow or not counting in right and on and on.  But they got up there and made that song look pretty easy as if they'd been practicing together just fine!
Mrs. Kristi announced that Matt scored a 100 on his music theory test that he took earlier in the year.  Marlie will get to take it next year. She also presented them with nice trophies for their performance and hard work. We can't thank you enough for working with them.  I'm amazed at how good they have gotten over the years and we love watching all your other students improve every year too.
