Piano Recital

After finding out our piano teacher was taking a break from teaching to be a full time mom we went on the search for a new piano teacher.  The kids and I were very sad because we all LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Tracy Brown, the piano teacher.

Once Hunter knew she wouldn't be his teacher he decided to take a break from piano and just stick with violin for now.

While searching for a new piano teacher we came across, Rea Schmitt.  She has ended up being the sweetest little piano teacher!  Kiersten is loving her!

Sister Schmitt had a piano recital in September.  The other students had been practicing their pieces since last school year.  But as Kiersten was a new student she only had a few lessons before the recital.  Kiersten was such a trooper......she practiced a lot and memorized two pieces to perform just like Sister Schmitt asked of her.

What a great kid!

After the recital, and right after taking this picture, Sister Schmitt made the sweetest comment about Kiersten.  I was a little embarrassed because she said it in front of two other moms, without commenting about the other ladies kids.

Sister Schmitt said, "I just have to brag about Miss Kiersten!  She is my best student!  She always comes to her lessons prepared and it seems the more I push her the more she excels!  She is just a JOY to have as a student! She is the dream student!"

That just made getting Kiersten to lessons on Friday mornings so worth it!

Kiersten you never cease to amaze me!

Thanks for your example!
