Recital


During this school year, Simon, Max, and Lisa have been taking piano and guitar lessons.  This week was the year end Recital Concert at Rosslyn.



 



Simon has been taking guitar lessons from Mr. Sanna.    This was Simon's first year playing guitar and his instructor is impressed with how quickly he has learned the instrument.  Simon has a real love of the classical style.  Mr. Sanna is an exceptional guitarist so attending lessons was like a mini concert every week, as Simon played and Mr. Sanna accompanied.  Simon's recital piece was plucking the melody for Jesus Loves Me.  He had a beautiful sound and perfect beat.  In the large auditorium it was a very impressive sound.
Max and Lisa played a duet for their Recital piece:  Rondo in A Major by Schubert.  Lisa has not taken lessons for decades.  It was fun to relearn how to play and begin again to enjoy the stress relief that music can bring.  However, to perform in front of people for the first time in 36 years was nether fun nor a stress reliever!  In fact, Lisa has no recollection of the event -- Max says she played well.
