Piano Goodbyes

This summer Little Man and Little Lady had the opportunity to take piano lessons from Evangeliya Delizonas-Khukhua.  She is one of the most gifted pianists I've ever heard, and she also happens to be a fabulous teacher.  It's rare to find someone who is both.  She has been wonderful for my kiddos.  Little Lady in particular has flourished.  She took off playing complicated pieces and started practicing even longer, because she wanted to spend more time perfecting her pieces.

It's been so nice for our relationship, too, because I'm no longer the mean mom piano teacher.  They had a separate adult tell them what to do.  Evangeliya is headed to Los Angeles next week, and we're going to miss her.  Before leaving she got both of them working on their 2-part Bach Invention for Fall Festival.
