Kora's recital

Sunday evening was Kora's recital. When we got to the church, we saw the program for the first time. Kora was FIRST of the students after a professional guest pianist opened the recital. At first I thought "Oh, no!" But then I realized that at least it would be over sooner so the nerves could settle down. Hopefully, Kora felt the same. :-)

Kora performed Fur Elise.

After she performed, her teacher got up to present an award to her. We knew she was getting an award, but I assumed it was the same type as Aubrey had received, "Most Improved" for her age group. She actually received a trophy for "Best in Studio." Each of the teachers in the conservatory had a "Best in Studio" award to hand out, and Kora received Ms. Penny's! We were very proud and surprised.

A study in concentration. She's very serious when she's nervous. And boy was she nervous. But she did a fantastic job and were are so proud of her and Aubrey both!
