This evening my students performed in their first recital! I decided on a low-key family affair in my home where the students were comfortable playing the piano. I am soooooo proud of all my students. Each child performed two pieces except my oldest student who performed one song. At the beginning of the year we made an agreement that if they practiced at least 50 minutes per week they would earn a doughnut point. The maximum amount of doughnuts earned was four. Four out of five students earned four doughnuts and one student earned three. Most of their pieces were accompanied by me. I love how the Alfred system generally has the teacher play along. It helps the student learn to count and keep tempo tremendously well. After the recital my students received their plate of doughnuts. Then we ALL partook of delicious doughnuts and chocolate milk! The concert lasted about 10 minutes but we all chatted and visited for another 30 minutes or more. Short, sweet, and delicious. Excellent work guys....
