Shortly after completing the Piano Guild competition, Matt participated in a piano recital. The recital was at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Jamestown - a stunningly gorgeous church downtown. Matt chose three pieces from his guild repertoire to play in the recital.
He did a wonderful job - he missed the ending on his "Colored Lights" song, but recovered beautifully and did very well in front of a large audience. Once the recital was over, the participants received their certificates (or trophies) from the Piano Guild.
Matt was absolutely thrilled and it was wonderful to watch everyone participate. Some of these kids have incredible talent! All of them work very hard and learn a valuable skill.
Once the recital was over, we all breathed a huge sigh of relief. June is such a busy month, and we could go back to a normal practice routine now that the Guild and recital were completed.

Way to go, Matthew! Well done!

We were so proud! He worked really hard to memorize 10 songs (he only played three for the recital). It was so nice to watch him perform!
