The last couple of months have been busy for Kami as she has gotten ready for piano AND violin festival (which are held on the same day.) She had a long (6-8 page) difficult piano piece to memorize, plus another piano piece to memorize, plus two violin pieces to memorize. She said that she felt like her brain was fried. But she did it, and as this time was her 15th festival, she received her big statue of Beethoven. (I believe the other composers that you can choose from are Chopin and Mozart.) Her grandma Gee, who is her amazing piano teacher, brought it over just the other day:
As you can see, he's so handsome that she'll probably want to sit and stare at him all the time and she won't get all the practicing that she needs to done anymore:)
Kami loves music, and it's fun to see how much progress she is making in it, and the enjoyment that she gets from it. Also last week she tried out for a highschool choir, "Musettes". *BRAVE!!* She had her Aunt Suzette come over and help her get a song ready. She just found out this morning that she made it! I think it's great that she is developing talents that she will be able to enjoy her whole life! Another thing that is really neat to me is that while she develops these talents she is also getting closer to, and spending more time with, extended family members - people that bless her life with love and a good example!
Great job Kami!!! Sounds like a lot of memorizing. I'm proud of you! I wish I could hear your pieces!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kami. I was wondering about your choir auditions and am excited you made it. Now we have a reason to go to choir concerts. :) And I have to say I have enjoyed listening to you as you develop your talents. You really are awesome in both violin and piano.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Kami! I personally know how stressful festivals can be. You'll be so glad you worked so hard when you are young :)
ReplyDeleteGood job Kami! What an achiever! That is a list of impressive talents and accomplishments. Heidi
