playing with two hands

Tess and Colm played at their piano recital last night. Both of them have developed a nice little habit of playing every day. They don't think of it as practice, at least not yet.







The difference between last year and this year is quite distinct. Both of them show a much sense of rhythm and phrasing, and both of them are motivated to learn new songs. In addition, each one is beginning to explore using the left hand.






Tess played so many songs (five, I think) that we started to worry about the natives getting restless. Her teacher, Ruth, is beloved by both Tess and Colm.







The feeling seems to be mutual.
