The boys preformed in the Concord Community Music School Purple Finches production of Into the Woods today. Due to COVID it was postponed from last spring. They were so pumped to get this chance today even if it was a lot different! Thank you Maria for everything! You made my boys stars today! Blown away is an understatement! 🥰🎶🎵🎤🎭

David: The Easy Winners by Scott Joplin & Prelude in C Minor by Chopin

Evan: Sonatina in C I. Allegro by Robert Vandall

Shaun: Wet Hands by Daniel Rosenfeld

12M ~ December 2020

This singing momma is bursting with pride at the beautiful solo from Evan in his Purple Finches virtual performance of Sound of Silence.  🤩

For student privacy, I'm unable to share the full song but I recorded just Evan's part to share.

There are so few opportunities to preform in these COVID times, and so I'm eternally grateful for all of our kids music teachers and the incredible amount of work they are doing to give them an outlet to share their craft.  🎶💕🎤🎵

12M ~ December 2020

 New glasses for these two! They both went with very different styles. 🤓 Shaun is still rocking 20/20 vision. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Shaun worked really hard on being able to sing while playing. Shout out to the best piano teacher around Ms. Abigail for always supporting the boys and encouraging them to challenge themselves musically!! 

 Also there is a funny video bomb...😹🎶🎵🎹

12M ~ October 2020

David's first year in the high school marching band was a little different but he was glad they were able to have something and be able to learn and preform a half time show even if they were not able to attend all of the games.  This was the last performance of the year that the directors made happen even though the football game was cancelled due to COVID.

12M ~ September 2020

Virtual piano lessons this year.  

12M ~ September 2020

We're officially done with orchestra in this family.  Evan has joined his brothers with wanting to be in the band.  He's going to be learning percussion and was so excited when his music teacher told him his bell kit was ready for pick up!
