1st Piano Recital

Cassandra Scupham had her 1st piano recital, performing, Kansas City Hot Dog (composer unknown)! Cassandra (her chosen stage name) and Sam are in Suzuki piano lessons with Ms. Emily. Cass is blooming under her tutelage, as you can see in the video, she really jazzed it up. Sam needs help from his daughter from time to time, but he catches on quickly and may perform in the dining-room recital later in the month.

The video was taken at St. Peter's Episcopal church, where a gathering of kids and their parents made quite a large crowd. It's unbelievable how many kids Emily teaches! Sam and I met Amy and her fiance, James, in the parking lot and we all sat together cheering Cassie from the front row.


Cassandra did a beautiful job! She was so brave! She was quoted saying after the performance when asked how she felt, "Much better!" Her nerves were there, but she decided to go up to perform anyway. It was fun for her.

She came down to breakfast the next morning looking sad. Sam asked her what was going on. She asked, "Is piano over now?" Sam replied, "You mean because you had a recital you think it might be over?" Cassie nodded. Then he reassured her that piano was still on! Funny.


I am glad she's having a good time. We had a good time experiencing that with her.


Much love,


Enjoy the video!
