Zachs Spring Piano Recital

May 20, 2008

What a great evening. Zach has been taking lesson again from Mrs. Hopkin. He has come so far this year. She said that he is getting better and better each week. He has very strong hands and is finally getting it. We convienced him that he needed to stay in piano. So he is staying. He hates to practice, but I know deep down he know this will all pay off. He was going to do percussions at the Jr. High this year. The teacher was not even going to have him try out since he know about his background with piano, but Zach has decided to learn the guitar and try out for the Jazz band next year. That was kind of our compromise so he would stay in piano. I am glad for the decision. Grandma & Grandpa Tolman were able to join us for the concert. Their last one before they head to Ireland. I cant wait to see how great Zach is when they get back.



Here he is playing is song that he worked on all year. I was trying to download the video I had, but it was not working. If you want to hear it, let us know and we will give you a private concert.
This is his duet partner, Marissa. They ended up playing two duets. We did not know they were doing two. He said that it was a suprise. He never said if it was a suprise for us or for him.
Our HANDSOME MAN!!!
Zach and his teacher, Mrs. Hopkin. She is AWESOME!!!!

Way to go Zach! I'm glad you were able to convince him to stay with piano - I am sure he will thank you someday.
