Collin's Piano Evaluation

A few weeks ago, Collin had a piano evaluation.  This was done at the piano school he attends by an independent evaluator not affiliated with the school.  We arrived at 12:00 for a 12:15 evaluation time, but the evaluations were about an hour behind schedule so we had to wait.  Collin was cool as could be, not the least bit worried, but I was nervous for him.  He amazes me because he never seems to get nervous for things like this; I wish I could be like that!

Just after 1:00, Collin went into the evaluation room and played two pieces by Beethoven (Fur Elise and Turkish March).  He did SO well!  He conducted himself in a very mature manner and played his best.  I was SO proud of him.

He received twelve scores.  Ten of the scores were ones (superior) and two of the scores were twos (excellent).

Collin's piano teacher invited Collin to play in an upcoming honors concert for the whole district.  I'm not sure how large the district is, but the teacher could only invite two or three students and one of them is Collin!!!

We are so proud of his piano playing and hope he will always play!
