This year, for my spring piano recital was themed "A Night at the Movies." All of my students played songs from movies and then I told them they could dress up like a character from that movie and play their piece. It was so fun to see them play in costume.
Caleb was Gandalf and played "I See Fire" from The Hobbit
Jakob was Jack Sparrow and played "End Credits" from Pirates of the Caribbean
Elena was Belle and played "Beauty and the Beast" from Beauty and the Beast
Joshua was Olaf and played "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" from Frozen.
We had a Cinderella, Indiana Jones, Darth Vader, Ana, and Rapunzel.
I had a Hollywood star for each of my students taped to my "red carpet" that they walked down to come play their piano piece. Then they each received a music trophy with their names and piano pieces on them. The music notes were made out of rice crispy treats. Found a really yummy recipe on Pinterest that made it so these treats stayed soft for longer than the usual recipe.
It was a fun night and hopefully a memorable one for all those involved.
