Their First Gig

Tomorrow night the two oldest children have their first gig providing dinner music for a marriage conference. This week I have been arranging parts and helping them get their plan together. Yes, I have had to put in some extra practice too as they have a few pieces that will require an accompanist.

They have been wanting to begin using their musical talents to earn some extra money. Two months ago they held their first piano concert (free) which was well attended. Tomorrow, they'll use their woodwinds along with a few piano pieces.

Being classically trained pianists, this venue gives them an opportunity to move beyond the timeless Rhapsody, Sonata and such to songs that their friends will find familiar. In fact, the oldest is participating in a Piano Master Class, but between sessions will be playing at the conference.
