Yes, it is piano recital time.  We have been busy preparing our songs for six (count’em six) weeks to bring them up to performance quality. 
I always sit through the recital so nervous for the kids.  I want to be comfortable so they will do their best, but I know that the nerves they feel will [...]

During the openhouse for our new temple here in Draper, my daughter was able to share her musical talent.  She was asked to play the harp for the visitors - a once in a lifetime opportunity for her.

Throughout my life, I have loved music.  Music of all sorts.  I don’t have an ipod, but if I did it would surely contain an eclectic mix of music. 
So, when I had children the decision was already made - they would take music lessons.  It started when they were about 18 months with Kindermusik classes and [...]

As some of you know, my daughters play the harp.  This past summer my oldest daughter went on tour, with a harp group, through Southern Utah.  She had the opportunity to play in Zions National Park and Tuacahn Center for the Performing [...]

Piano is one of my children’s favorite words!  Two of my children have a love hate relationship with that word.  On one hand, they absolutely love, love, love their piano teacher and do love going to their piano lessons.  But, sadly enough, they do not always enjoy practicing (what could be the matter with these [...]
