Phew! I look forward to my spring piano recital with both excitement and nervousness. It's so fun to hear the progress that is made when my students are compelled to practice for an upcoming recital. But, now that it's over I feel mostly relief. I am always anxious for my students to play...I hope they will do their best and feel good about their performance and my heart races for each one. But this year it was Ella's very first recital and as her teacher and her mother, I was VERY anxious! While she is one good little player, I was nervous that a negative experience might hurt our progress. Luckily, Ella exceeded my expectations and she felt good enough about her performance that she hasn't stopped showing off since! On to the Christmas recital.

I'm glad the recital went well! I was always so nervous when I was young for my recitals.
