In-line skating, Esther’s piano recital
We had some in-line skating fun at the Eco-park today, but Grace missed it as she was at work in the morning.
They can all jump and skate now, and practicing 180° turn while skating.
Joseph fell, and David had a nasty big scratch on the knee when he fell at high-speed at a slope area.
In the afternoon, we all attended Esther’s piano recital at a nice home at Everton Road (rented home of another student of the teacher, Aaron Goh). Aaron and his wife, Grace, prepared very nice snacks.
Here’s Esther playing Haydn’s “German Dance in C: No. 4 from 12 German Dances” followed by Dave Stapleton’s “Blue Sky Blues: No. 1 from Jazz Jazz Jazz”. She played rather well!
Then while another student, Lauren, was playing accompanying chords, Esther was asked to play the melody to “Give Thanks”. With no prior coordination, no scores and only started practicing, it wasn’t very good, but acceptable.
After all 8 students performed, Aaron played and sang a duet with his wife the song “For Good” from the musical “Wicked”. Nicely done.
Elbow pads and knee pads would be good for Esther and David
Yes, of course, but David is a ‘hero’ who thinks that pads are hot and uncomfortable. This is the price to pay.
