We had a great recital last night at the Owen Sound Harmony Centre! Fifteen students performed from both my studio and the studio of my friend Irene Enns. The ages ranged from 5 to adult, and the pieces performed spanned four centuries of music.

Mary Poppins Duet #3: Boogie Woogie style!
So I thought I needed a third instalment of Mary Poppins, you know, to round things out. I chose to arrange Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious into a piano duet because the other two songs were bit melancholy (being in minor keys and all). There is no doubt this is a happy song, and to bump it up a notch from the usual marching band style I added a boogie-woogie bass part!

June Memorizing Project: building the repertoire!
So I wasn't sure I would finish memorizing the Chopin in May-- it was such a busy month and went by so quickly. Miraculously I pulled it off and am ready to start on my next project: memorizing the third movement of Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata (see my post on memorizing the first movement here).
