On Sunday, Max and Megan had their piano recital at our neighbor Melinda's house. She has been Max's teacher since last summer, and Megan's since January. She has been so wonderful with the kids. They learn so much about all kinds of muisic, composers, and instruments, and doesn't limit their knowledge to the piano. They even ended the recital with a percussion ensemble piece. I love that! Here is Melinda with her students - Max, Mark (another neighbor), Megan, and Ian (Melinda's son).Melinda asked earlier in the week if Megan would design the program for the recital. Although some black didn't come through on the copies, you can get the idea below. Megan was so excited that she asked. (Drawing is certainly her thing!) Melinda really put a lot of thought into the event. Although her studio is small, she once had 70 students and taught full time - so she's up for taking more on soon. She says next year we'll be at a recital hall. After the recital, she had lemonade and brownies. A perfect afternoon treat!
Here's a few videos of the performances:

That's neat you have someone in your neighborhood to teach them. They're both doing great!
They are so good. Loved hearing them. Mia's dance class is cute too. I can't wait to see videos on that.
So cute ... I love that Megan designed the programs!
