Annabelle had her first piano recital at the Copper Summit Assisted Living Center - Dec. 16th. It was snowing and the piano teacher and two other students were a few minutes late getting there...we took advantage of that and took pictures up close of Anna at the piano!
She was a little nervous - I liked the three Wise Men on top of the piano.
Dad went around the room introducing himself and getting back into the Recreational Therapy mode!
Some of the client that came for the recital ... a couple of the old ladies 'sang' to the students playing ... pretty fun. I told Dad, I hoped we didn't end up in a place like that - then I said: I guess we would have dementia and we wouldn't know we were there! It reminded us of the Nursing Homes in Wisconsin that we would do our Family Show in. Kate and Anna went around talking to some of the audience, one old lady asked if she could kiss Anna! umm no!
Sister Debbie Connet - next door neighbor to the south - great piano teacher. She had us and Anna come over to her house after the recital and she and Anna played some more songs - not Christmas ones. She says Anna has an unusual gift for learning music! Thanks Aunt Heidi for giving her the use of the piano.
Here is the cute Program Sister Connet made for the recital...Anna was first and did really well.
Sister Connet sat with her and played the other hand - nice support!
We hope to attend many more recitals of grandchildren! Good job Annabelle!!
