Piano Festival

Last Saturday, Princess E performed in her fifth MFMC piano festival.  She performed two songs - Pagoda Bells by Rejino was the required song and her chosen song was Scherzo by Haydn.  For the fifth year in a row she received a Superior score.  This is the top score (five points) that one can receive.  She earned a trophy after 15 points, and is looking to earn the next trophy.  Princess M did not prepare for the festival this year, but is working to take her first piano exam in May.  She has the songs almost memorized and is working on rhythmics and dynamics.  She also is still working hard on the theory that is required for her level.  Princess E has learned about another program called Bridges which will allow her to perform some required songs in addition to some of the songs she has written herself.  She has to have a written score, however, and is trying to get her music put into Noteflight so that she can print it out nicely.  It is a little difficult to do on a netbook because the screen is so small.  I'm happy about her dedication to it, however she has used some of her school time to do it.  Now she is quite behind for this week.
