Vois sur ton Chemin

Oboe ensemble- Adios Muchachos

Oboe ensemble - Marche Parade

Estelle - oboe ensemble at Music Camp

At the beginning of May, the girls spent 5 days at music camp at a spot right on the water about 1.5 hrs from Nice, near Toulon.  Estelle's oboe group played many numbers.  This is one!

Léna - Romance en Ré Mineur - Guy Destanque

Same recital as my other post.  This is a piece published in 1978.  I moved to the back of the room to not have her backlit so much.  I winged at one or two light mistakes then heard other kids play the same song and realized she was doing pretty good comparatively!

Hard to know when you're a parent but not a musician if your kid is doing well or not.  This recitals are a good reality check - for better & for worse!

Léna - Songe de Roi Arthur - Hamid Medhebeur

On Monday, Léna had a recital.  She played two pieces.  The first one is rather long.

She was the first student to play of the whole recital and it was a bit rushed so I wasn't prepared to film.

Apologies for the quality, I had many distractions.

At one point you see a boy (long hair, but yes it is a boy) so inspired by
Léna's playing that he floated about as a bird, climbed up on the
little stage in front of the piano, was scolded, then returned to his
seat.

Léna amazingly did not break concentration though everyone else did!  Bravo.
