recital two

Aiden's second piano recital went really well.  We were so happy my folks made it to town (my mom was sick, but is doing better!). Aiden had picked out his tie a while ago and found this old tie bar to hold down the back of the zipper band ;).

The theme this time was Girl Power, so all of the songs played were either about a woman or written by a woman. He played Eleanor Rigby, a Neat Beat, and a tradition at every fall recital Happy Halloween Machine.  This year she had three kids playing it in unison on two pianos.  Pretty neat.

The teacher's theory on recitals is that they shouldn't "get sick of the song" by practicing it too long, so two of his songs he just started this month.  Aiden stuck with even the big hand stretches on his songs and really worked hard.
