Piano Concert

Rachel started piano lessons a few months ago and last night (Wednesday June 3rd) she had her first concert. She was so nervous but did so well. She played two pieces. One by herself and the other as a duet with her teacher. Rachel loves piano. We were so proud of her. Grandpa and Grandma Heileson came and watched. Because of the limited space we couldn't invite a lot of people so I made sure to film it for everybody.

Rachel takes lessons on Thursdays and she looks forward to Thursdays each week. I never have to ask her to practice either. She just sits down and does it. Her teacher Michelle stood up and introduced everybody before they each played their first songs and about Rachel she said that Rachel comes with the biggest smile each week. When she opens the door Rachel looks so happy to be there. She also said that Rachel loves piano and she assumes this with everything she does that if she loves something she will work so hard at it and excel in it. I wish that I had filmed what she said because it was so awesome.

I love that Rachel loves piano so much. I think that she will always love it and will excel in it. She came home today from her lesson and said that it went well but she has some hard songs she is learning but excited to learn them. What a change from her Mom growing up. I am excited to look back years from now and see the change in her piano abilities.

We are all proud of our Rachel.
