Month of Music

December was definitely a month filled with music at our house.  There was a lot of practicing going on and multiple performances.  We'll start with Kyla and her Holiday Choir Concert.  It was amazing.  It included all the choirs in her high school and the orchestra as well.

Below you can see Kyla's choir performing.  She is on the right side of the girls who are standing, about the third row down and right behind the mice pole.  I'm glad we'll have a lot more of these concerts to enjoy...

Also Kyla had her voice recital performance.  This was her first time ever to sing by herself in front of a whole bunch of people, not very easy, but she did great...

Colter's musical performance for the month took place at a restaurant where they had a performing stage.  His teacher jammed all his students up on stage and they entertained us with some Christmas songs.  It was fun to hear all those instruments playing together...

Colter at the guitar...

Maya's school holiday very enjoyable. Her school has a new music teacher and he is outstanding!  Here is Maya's class getting their percussion instruments...

And singing...

Last but not least, we enjoyed Melita's little music program at the assisted living community.  It was ADORABLE!  Here she and her classmates are singing one of their songs....

And singing another...

After they were done singing, they passed out a piece of fruit and a card that they made to each of the residents at the home.  :)

We missed our last music event of the month... playing Christmas carols on the piano at Sykes in town.  We just weren't able to fit it in too, so we had to miss out but it was still fun to hear them play their songs at home.  

Yikes, it was a lot of running, but it was worth it.  I think enjoying music performed is one of the greatest gifts we can share with one another.  And it's a great reward for all the times I've had to remind them to practice, practice, practice...

Have an great week! Alison
