Last Saturday, our house was turned into "Parker Palace Concert Hall"!
Numbers of compound-kids have swelled recently as we are very pleased to have an extra Dutch family here for a few months, with 3 children. With the extra numbers, we have extra opportunities for activities! The children got together and created and issued invitations for a concert they decided to organise. Esther wrote out and printed a programme on the computer. The children were ready for a Saturday afternoon concert!
The musicians were excited and nervous. The musicians' parents were supportive and in full attendance at the musical recital which the children would perform in.
At 4:20pm, the concert began in our converted lounge!
Performances included...
Esther on the keyboard: Esther and her friend doing a keyboard/ violin duet: a violin solo. Next was Ben on the keyboard, followed by other little ones playing the harmonica and finally Joel and his friend playing the drums.
Afterwards, there were refreshments and an opportunity to mingle and congratulate the performers in person; which is more than you would get if you attended a concert in London!
Is ESTHER following in her mummy 's footsteps who can find fun with others with only a cardboard box ? It reminds me of Jo and her sisters in Little Women. Hoping they will perform for us too when they come to England. Love nana xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun afternoon / evening. Great that Esther, Ben Joel and the other children are learning to play musical instruments. There are quite a few articles these days about how good it is for children's development in terms of learning etc, also if one can learn to play when one is young then likely one will not forget how to play as one gets older.
