PIANO UPDATE: December Recital Highlights

ABOVE:  A 2:13 minute highlight from a 4:13 minute performance in the AC Fall Recital on the Steinway in Armstrong Auditorium!  Wow, what a blessing to be able to play in that recital and on that blessing piano!  I was sooo nervous being in such a special place.  I had a few memory lapses, but my teacher has taught me to cover well, so it seems that not many really noticed except the pros...AKA Mr. Malone and Jenkins, and my teacher, and they were all super encouraging to me.  Enjoy the above video clip if you want!  Thanks to Seth M. for sending it.  I really appreciated that since it was a historical moment for me.  I can always learn how to do better in the future from listening.  Survived the concert piano training, now on to focusing on the accompanying side of things.  I can serve a lot more with that.
BELOW:  9:03 favorite highlight moments from a 46:01 minute piano performance with my teacher at The Magnolia Moon in Guthrie, Oklahoma with Ramona L. guest singing during the piano intermission.  It was a lot of fun, but a lot of nerves too!  I was sooo happy when the last note was played.  :-)!!!  I had a few memory lapses in this one too, but covered alright though I am striving for perfection as in everything in life; and as in everything, I still have a long ways to go, but you have to have a starting point!  Thanks to Jessie H. for recording this big moment in my life.  Enjoy this video highlight clip of this recital if you want!
