On Saturday, 24 November, Ashley and Ha Jin gave their Book 1 viola recital.  Here are their thoughts:

 

My First Book Recital

by Ha Jin

If it was your first book recital would you be nervous or would you be cool? What if you were in between? On MY first book recital I was exactly that, nervous AND excited.

NERVOUS:
I was nervous because what if I made a really big mistake and embarrassed myself?

EXCITED:
I was also pretty excited since after lots of hard work of Book 1 it felt good to show my work.

AT THE RECITAL

At first I was nervous but as soon as I started playing my nervousness went away.  made some mistakes but it was okay.

I LOVED MY BOOK 1 RECITAL!

The day of the recital came. I was very worried that I would make a mistake. When I played my songs I made some mistakes but on the easy songs I had no problem. After it ended I was very glad. I could also eat some treats in the end.

THE END

 

Congratulations to Ashley, Ha Jin and their families on all of their hard work!

Ms Diane’s Studio Recital was on Saturday, 10 November at the Parsons Concert Hall in Times Square. There was quite a light-hearted start to the event before the students began their performances.  How wonderful to see the growth in each performer’s confidence since the last Studio Recital!

Ms. Monica’s studio had their recital on Saturday, 10 November at Parsons Concert Hall in Times Square.   After everyone played their solos, the recital ended with a duet played by Jess and Emma. What a beautiful way to end the recital!

On Saturday, 3 November Ms. Ryoko, Ms. Shoko and Ms. Sonomi’s performed on a joint studio recital at the Congregational Church in Causeway Bay.  It was fun to hear the piano and violin students mixed together on the annual studio recital!
