Piano and Violin Recital Numbers - November 2012

Raquel and Raeli had a Piano and Violin Recital on Saturday, November 17, 2012. Here are recordings of their numbers. BTW, Raquel's hair is done up like that because she was also involved in a Ballroom Dance competition that day -- I will post videos of that in a little bit.

Here is a video of Raquel and Raeli playing a duet -- "On the Street Where You Live"

Here is a video of Raeli playing a violin number.

Raquel playing a medley of "Phantom of the Opera" music.

Raquel playing "All of Me" by Jon Schmidt. (The recording of her playing at the recital didn't work out -- my camera overheated, so we then went to the Church and recorded it again.)

Happy Valentine's Day - 2012

I made this little video for Ruth for Valentine's Day 2012.

Kelly and Ruth - Swing Dancing

Ruth and I were invited to be part of a dance "floor show" at a Church Valentine's Dance. We were learned an east coast swing dance to "Rock Around the Clock" with 5 other couples. Here is just us doing our dance routine in our family room.

Enjoy!

2011 Piano/Violin Recital Numbers

2010 Piano & Violin Recitals

Well . . . it is almost embarassing that it has been a full year since I last posted something on my blog. However, here are some recordings of the girls' piano and violin recital performances yesterday. You can compare them to the previous blog entry (a year ago) and see the improvement that nearly $1,000 and a year of practicing produces!

Raeli playing The Two Grenadiers


Raeli playing Think of Me (from Phantom of the Opera)


Raquel playing the Theme from Ice Castles


Raquel playing Dumb Song by Jon Schmidt (that actually is the title . . . not a commentary!)
