The scores are in!

We got a phone call from Kellen's piano teacher yesterday evening and Kellen got a 5! So, according to the National Federation of Music Clubs, that means "An oustanding performance which is consistantly musical, stylistically correct, and accurate. Attention is given to dynamics, phrasing, and musical expression. Memorization is secure with rapid recover from minor slips. Errors do not detract from the particpant's interpretation. A complete performance." We let him talk to both grandparents last night after we found out so that he could tell them. He did such a great job! We are so proud of how far he has come with his music in the last several months, and are looking forward to seeing him continue :)
