Toward the end of October, the big kids had their duet recital, and then they participated in a piano festival a couple of weeks later. Cat had the same partner she's had for a few years, a girl her age named Lana. They are very comfortable together by now. They played Spanish Dance by Mozkowski and Hungarian Dance No. 1 by Brahms - two great pieces.
Jack and Eliza were partners again, which I really love. It's so nice not to have to coordinate with another family and transport kids back and forth to practice together. The downside of the partnership is that Jack and Eliza are at different levels in their piano lessons, so the music is either too hard for Eliza and takes her a long time to learn, or it's too easy for Jack and he gets bored with it. C'est la vie. Jack and Eliza played an arrangement of the Toreador song from Carmen and O Christmas Tree.
Those few minutes of playing represent months of work and I'm so proud of all of them!
