Jewelia wanted to have a Christmas violin recital, but her teacher said she didn't have very many students who were good enough to play in a recital yet. Instead, her teacher decided to join with her piano/guitar teacher friend to have her students play as part of their recital. Her teacher's friend wanted to have the recital at a mall.
This sounded like it might be fun, but it was in the middle of the Christmas season and the mall was very very busy and noisy. There was even a train that circled around the inside of the mall tooting it's horn and ringing it's bell about every 5 minutes. So, when it was Jewelia's turn to play it was very hard to hear her.
But she still did great! She had Caleb come to accompany her on piano. Here she is performing "Silent Night":
Her second song she was to perform "Believe" from the Polar Express. She did really well, but toward the end of the song Caleb had to turn some pages and he couldn't quite reach because the piano was an electric keyboard that was a bit too tall, so the book fell off the piano hitting the keys and he had to fix it all. Jewelia was good to wait and continue on when he fixed it. It was kind of funny though that she didn't even notice what had happened. She just thought he really messed up his accompaniment!
Here is there 2nd performance with the piano book disaster:
You could still tell they knew the song and it would have been perfect minus the book falling part.
Maybe next time they decide to perform at a mall it won't be such a busy time and not so loud. It was fun though, and we all had a good time!
