Each December, we have a "Piano Party" (not a recital, as there is no audience--only students!). Saturday, December 12 dawned cool and fairly dry, so we were in luck. With around 20 students attending the event, I was hoping for decent weather as they traveled from various parts of the area to downtown Bothell and the Music and Arts Auditorium.
I rented the venue early so each student would have time before the event to try out the lovely baby grand piano. From 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., we had a wonderful time together sharing our favorite holiday and non-holiday songs. There are no words to describe an event such as this--new musicians testing out their skills in front of others and sharing something intensely personal with their peers.
After the event, we walked across the street to Pen Thai Restaurant for a catered lunch in our own special dining room. It was a lovely time of conversation and getting to know each of my students better.
Only six months until our Spring Recital!
