It's a few weeks late, but this was my sweet girl's solo at our December recital. After our last couple of practice sessions, I need a reminder as to why we do this, day in and day out. I was telling my husband this morning that sometimes it pays to have a kid that cares about playing notes exactly in tune and perfect. ( i.e. recital time). It's the tricky before school practice times where I have to remind her "it's okay to mess up" and "you are going to probably play some wrong notes.....that's great!" Huh? It's like I have to prep her for every emotion she is going to feel and hope she gives herself a break.
This too shall pass, right? It makes for a beautiful Witches' Dance, though.
