Concert/Recital

The past 3 weeks for me have been FILLED with rehearsing and performances.  I was fortunate enough to be asked to play for a musical in Hillsborough, NJ earlier this month.  It was a wonderful experience to play piano with a wonderful group of instrumentalists and singers. 
AT OCS - We took on the world with our concert theme: Celebrate the World.  I really enjoyed seeing how some students have really grown musically.  The singing and instrumental talent at OCS was truly evident in this concert.  NOTE: I can never thank the staff at OCS enough for making these concerts possible.
Tonight was the instrumental recital.  This gives the students an opportunity to play in an informal/smaller setting for their families.  All the students did an excellent job.  I talked to the parents tonight about how they are doing something really special for their children by having them take instrumental lessons, as I know that the music they are learning now can be something that will last a lifetime.  My son still plays trumpet (he's an accounting major and plans to be a CPA one day - but is still involved with various music ensembles).
Which brings me back to that musical I played for.  Many of those wonderful singers and instrumentalists from many different backgrounds in education, business and science came together with music still a part of their lives. 
Keep playing - Keep singing OCS.
