Hannah and Dave had their first piano recital, September 25, 2008
Hannah played, "The Second Star to the Right" from Peter Pan.
Dave Played "I Hope They Call Me on a Mission."
Hannah won the "Student of the Year" award.
Ethan couldn't resist playing his recital piece too.They each played their piece perfectly. We were so proud of them. The best part was that the teacher, Amanda, only has 5 Students including our two so the whole recital lasted about 15 minutes.
Amanda gave out awards to each student. Hannah won the "Student of the Year." The prize included $20. We call that tuition reimbursement. Actually, I guess I'll start saying she is on a piano scholarship that sounds better!
Dave won the award for the most enthusiastic learner. Which he definately is. He loves piano and everything to do with music. He wants to learn to play the Indianna Jones theme song next. He's obsessed with the movies and wants to be Indianna Jones for Halloween.
Ethan absolutely loves music as well. He couldn't resist hopping up to play his recital piece. Every night we turn on Classical tunes from the Ipod for Ethan to fall asleep. The first song is "Claire De Lune" by Debussy. The other week we were at Trav's parents house for dinner and someone started playing that song on the piano. Ethan went running in and stopped dead is in his tracks. He listened, mesmerized, to the whole song.

Congrats to Hannah & Dave. I had no idea they were taking piano. That's wonderful & keeps right in tune with your families incredible gift for music. The kids look great. We're anxious to hear when Ethan's surgery will be. Hopefully we will be able to come out and see that QT while you're in Detroit.
Way to go you guys, that's so great for your kids. Did you get your surgery scheduled yet?
