Just over a week ago, MariCagle had her end of the year violin recital at her teacher, Mrs. Cohen's house. She performed two pieces. The first was a special number that she performed with her friend whose practice time is just before hers. Their practices often overlap a little and they get to play together some each week. Mrs. Cohen helped them to come up with a little scheme where they each pretended to have a broken arm, and played one violin together. One held the violin and fingered the strings while the other worked the bow. Everyone got quite a kick out of it especially with their miraculous recoveries to play each of their solo pieces. MariCagle's solo piece was 'Perpetual Motion.' It's a pretty long piece for her, but she still managed to play it from memory. I was especially proud of her handling her mess up at the end. She hung in their until she and Mrs. Cohen were able to get on the same page and then finished the piece gracefully. She truly did great, but you can judge for yourself! Enjoy!
