The recital program was divided into two sections: piano solos and piano ensembles. My goal in having piano ensembles was to teach the students how to work with other musicians and enjoy performing as a team.
There were twelve solos and seven ensembles. Among the piano duets and trios, I was able to involve some of my student's siblings, who play other instruments, to form a guitar/piano duet and violins/piano trio. I composed/arranged four of the ensembles for my students and found it so rewarding! It was fun to personalize the part just for them.
Each student worked very hard and did a fabulous job!

My students often perform for church, home school group programs, and other similar events. However, this year, with encouragement from my students, I organized our first piano studio recital.
For the recital, my brother and I created a special surprise for my students - a choreographed juggling act! My brother juggles as a hobby. Below is some clips from the show. Enjoy!
