It has been nothing short of a blessing to have had Ria learn from Aimee, after Carolyn (Ria’s first piano teacher), returned to the US. Aimee, a beautiful mom of five, is an amazing pianist herself and, may I add, extremely patient and soft spoken. She is also very gifted in composition – particularly worship music and we have had the pleasure of some spontaneous performances that have been very uplifting!
Ria has so enjoyed learning! Every parent longs for this. If somehow your child finds a teacher that imparts a love for what they are learning, that is what counts. Inspiration begets motivation. It’s always refreshing when Ria sits at the piano and plays, filling the home with beautiful strains (and a few extra sharps and flats on occasion!) I’m so very grateful Aimee found a slot for Ria in her very busy schedule!
There was a slight misunderstanding as far as the date for the recital but we made it, and everyone (all the parents and children) very graciously waited for Ria’s performance! We had a few crazy moments in rush hour traffic and prayed furiously for green lights! Miracles do happen!
Ria performed Coconut Shuffle and Whirling Leaves by Nancy and Randall Faber.
This was probably Ria’s last Piano Recital in Delhi. We move to Goa in September and are extremely sorry to be missing out on Aimee’s instruction in the future! Until then, we’re hoping to make the most of every available class!
