It was Logan’s last piano class yesterday and we learned that the kids would have an informal recital at the end of the class.  Last week, Logan told us that he chose the piece to play.  This music was one of the shortest ones, so it did not really require too much practice, but Logan did spend a little time on it throughout the week.  When he and I arrived at the class, the teacher told the parents to come back at the last 15 minutes or we could stay.  Logan wanted me to hang out in the classroom, so I observed them for the first time.  The teacher reviewed the notes with the kids; some of them were very eager to answer the teacher’s questions, Logan answered a couple of times.  Then she had each kid rehearsed their piece or pieces.  Half of the classes played more than one piece.  Logan was goofing around in his seat, but did play attention when each kid started playing.  Finally when the other parents came in for the recital, the teacher asked who liked to start first, Logan volunteered.  He played his short piece without any issue and bowed at the end after the teacher suggested.  Shortly after Logan finished, Stuart and Connor arrived to the class as his soccer practice had just finished.  Even though he missed Logan’s portion, Connor sat with me to watch the rest of the recital.  Afterward, the kids could use the piano dollars they earned throughout the classes to trade for little toys, and they enjoyed a little snack before we went home.  Honestly Logan did a fine job picking up this new skill, but I don’t think he is passionate toward piano or learning to play music.  We will see if Logan wants to sign up classes again in the future.
