We were super excited for Alec's first piano recital! He had asked for lessons for over a year and when he turned seven we decided to try it out.
Sister Stephens prefers to wait until children are eight, but agreed to let him try for a month. After his second lesson she assured me he would be fine and she would teach him. Having taught kindergarten for 14 years, she's incredibly kind and patient. Absolutely perfect for Alec! He practices daily and looks forward to the fruit snacks she proffers weekly as a reward for practice. It's wonderful to watch him blossom with confidence at his new skill.
The only embarrassing moment was when James (from our seat in the front row) proclaimed, "this is taking forever! How much longer do we have to sit here??" Granted, it was over an hour, but I felt awful for the poor girl who was about to perform!
