Thanksgiving

This weekend was pretty fun! In germany they dont have our thanksgiving, but my host mother thought it would be cool to make a thanks giving dinner that we ate on sunday. I had a friend over that day too, so he got to experiance thanksgiving dinner aswell! We ate some hog, and pumkin pie! So I was pretty satisfied. It was a fun time, and enjoyed by all!

Also on saturday there was a piano even for the childen at the music school that I take lessons from, and the piano teacher is a friend of my mother and he asked me if I would come and make a video. So I spent saturday afternoon filming children playing piano for their parents. It was pretty crazy to see some 12 year old kids playing Bach and Beethoven. There is going to be another thing similar to the one on saturday later in the year, or the start of next that I will play in.

Ive been working at piano for about 6 weeks, and Fritz, my teacher, said that Im learning at a faster than normal rate, so thats pretty encouraging. Ive been pretty good at understanding the theory, and Im getting my plaing skills tuned in now. About two weeks ago I found a friend with a keyboard collecting dust, that I took off her hands and Ive been practice almost every day. It pretty fun.
