The Piano Girl plays for the Composer Guy

Camryn had a special opportunity last week as part of her "piano school" (WSU has a special Piano Pedagogy Lab School for teaching piano to students). The PPLS invited the year's "featured" composer, Mr. Dennis Alexander to Pullman for a couple of days. He hosted performances and taught basic lessons as a guest teacher at several local schools. He came to Camryn's school, Jefferson Elementary for the 5th grade music class on Friday.

Camryn and another girl were invited to play during his guest lecture. This piece is called, The Lost Troubador and she played it for her Winter Recital (from memory) in December. I missed that recital because I was in Nebraska, but I made sure I went this time!

Cute, huh? (OK, yes, much more so, if you are the proud parent!)
