Kiersten’s Blog

I almost forgot to write about our concert last week.  Remember when I told you about it?  I was a little nervous.  It all turned out really well.  There were probably about 30 people in the audience, mostly elderly.  And they LOVED it.  Taylor played a couple of pieces, I played about 4 or 5 pieces, and there was a singer from New York who was here and also sang.  He was very good.  I just wished I wasn’t sitting in the front row because he was also very loud.  Anyway, the music was great.  I really enjoyed playing and listening.  It really was an enjoyable experience for me.  I was a little nervous during the first piece, partly because I was the first to play and it was unaccompanied.  But after that, things were great.  And the audience was just great.  One lady came up to me afterwards and, holding my elbows, got kind of close and whispered, “You were the star of the show.  That singer was great and all, but you, you were the star.”  I loved it!  What a great compliment!  I really am glad I was able to play.  Now I need something else to motivate me to practice again.
