Enjoy these videos from the boys’ piano recitals at the end of May. The boys will definitely miss Miss Ashley.
We haven’t found a piano teacher here quite yet…but we aren’t looking quite yet either.
Timmy:
Jacob:
The boys performed at their Spring piano recital this week. Most of Ms. Herbstreith’s students are beginners, so we had perforances as simple as Old McDonald, but she also has a couple middle school students who play more advanced sonatas. The songs are short, but you can get an idea of the skills the boys are developing!
Dave has been very busy this week: wildfires just north of base came very close to the north end of the base and the hazard caused the Air Force base leadership to have to prepare for evacuations from housing and nearby neighborhoods. Dave was able to break away from work just long enough to come to the church and watch the boys, and then had to leave right away to return to the base.
Enjoy the videos! First is Timmy, then Jacob.

| Our boys after last night’s holiday piano recital. Their teacher is in the upper right… |
Last night my boys had their holiday piano recital. In Nebraska Jacob only had one recital per year (May), but their teacher here in Florida puts on a nice holiday recital also. They will have a bigger one in May.
This time I brought a tripod to take the video, which helped things out in two ways:
- The video isn’t wobbly at all.
- I could actually watch my sons play, instead of watching them through the viewfinder of the camera.
The boys’ piano teacher likes to give a somewhat-elaborate introduction for each student, which I could cut from Timmy’s but couldn’t find a nice place to cut from Jacob’s. Miss Ashley is saying some nice things about Jacob and his playing, but if you want to skip ahead (and believe me, I’m not offended, Jacob starts playing at about 1:00 into the video).
Timmy’s “Jingle Bells”
Jacob’s “Jingle Bell Rock”
