Annika's first Piano Recital

Over the summer I realized that Annika took quite an interest in the piano. She sat with Grandma Pat and picked up tunes very quickly. When we would go back the following week she had remembered what she learned and played it again and again. I approached my next door neighbor who teaches piano lessons. I offered to teach her cooking lessons in exchange for piano lessons for Annika. I am so grateful to Carmen for being so willing to help.
Annika already knows tons more then I do. She does a great job for only taking lessons for 4 months. I am very proud of her and can't wait to see where she takes this talent.

Fiddling with her book. Must be nerves.

Here is her performance.  I realize we still have a long ways to go.  Practice, practice, practice.  She did a wonderful job!!
