Ezra and his fellow fifth graders all learned an instrument this year. Ezra chose cello, and while he didn’t practice at home much he seemed to really enjoy playing and was very excited about the end-of-the-year concert. He loved getting dressed up in his crisp white shirt and black slacks.
He was particularly enamored of Pachelbel’s Canon so I made sure to video the performance. The footage isn’t great given my vantage point, but at least you can hear the song pretty well.
He was one proud boy.
And here he is after the performance chatting with another mom. So cute!
He also pointed out some artwork he did as part of the “Musical Miniatures: Portraits with Music Notations” project.
I’m very pleased that he has such great opportunities for art and music at school. He plans to continue playing cello next year in sixth grade.
