Jake's Monster Concert

Jake had his final piano concert a few weeks ago.  They call it a monster concert because three kids play on different pianos at the same time.  Jake practiced his piece over and over and had it perfect at home, then when he went to play with the others it was a nightmare.  He wasn't good at counting in his head and was only playing it well because I was over his shoulder counting it out.  Then you throw in two other kids playing to their own beats and it was a bit chaotic.

There were a few more practices and they pulled it together in the end.  It was so cute to hear them play together in the concert.

 Here are the 3 beginning students this year.

Grandma Johnson came up to hear him play.  We took her on a ride up the canyon to show her all our haunts.

Jason fell asleep on the way home.

 She read to them and showed pictures of her latest adventures to Jake and Allie.  It's always fun to have grandma come up to stay.
