Gardnerkids are back! Maybe it has a lot to do with March Madness, or just the busyness of life. Mostly it has to do with me trying to stay off of this computer so much. Either way...I know I have been missing in action, but hopefully it won't take me long to get caught up. Unfortunately this post won't show up in any blog book, but these videos are for the grandparents to see (and anyone else of course).
I LOVE teaching my girls piano! So far it has been really really good! Kaylee's lessons are always Wednesday afternoon and Taylor and Emily are always on Thursday morning. We are all pretty good at remembering to practice and they always love to just sit and play their own stuff on their own time. There are many times where they'll start plunking away and I'm about to say..."No piano"...just because I think I don't want the extra noise, but almost always I stop myself and remember that this is exactly what I want. Them to enjoy the piano!
On March 5th they had their solo festival. This was Kaylee's 2nd and Taylor and Emily's first. They were each judged on 2 songs. I was an auditor for this session, so as I tried to keep paperwork and stuff organized I was a nervous wreck for my little girls, but they did amazing! I was so excited for them! The judges gave great feedback and we all came away smiling (well, except Kierra....she has a hard time sitting for that long!) :)

Wow,they like to practice on their own? I am impressed! I feel like I have to sit right next to them to get them through it.
GREAT JOB GIRLS!! They sound so good, just like their mom! I am very impressed that you are teaching them yourself and that it is going well. Keep it up!!
That's great! I love teaching my kids too. I'm pretty hard on them, but somehow I find a good balance. I feel more preasure to teach them well though...I have a reputaion to uphold! Good Job!
