Jeff's Piano Recital

Last week on Friday our new piano teacher Jeff held a recital in a church in Dublin. We had our rehearsal on Tuesday so we knew what we were doing and had heard each other pieces. It was different from other recitals like Mrs. Palmer's where she just sat up on the stage calling out names and making us bow. In Jeff's recital he told us to just recognize the crowd clapping with a nod but some kids still bowed. He also didn't announce everyone's name but just told us to look at the sheet and come up when it was our turn and just start playing. It was a lot more fun than Mrs. Palmer's recital because the pieces were more interesting and played with a lot more energy. In Mrs. Palmer's recitals people would just go up and play their Minuet or whatever but in this recital there were cool Christmas songs. Also, in Jeff's recital there weren't just pianists but also singers who were very good. I have to say though, I liked Mrs. Palmer's receptions more but that was because she made everyone bring something unlike Jeff who brought everything. So my main point in this is that I like our new teacher more than our old one.
