J took his second degree black belt test this weekend, and I think he did pretty well.

I’ve posted a lot about scouting with the boys, primarily because it’s an activity I really enjoy sharing with them, even if it’s way out of my comfort zone.
I’ve also posted a bit about W entering science fairs, a bit about Tae Kwon Do (e.g. above), and a bit about school. and of course, I’ve posted about family vacations.
One thing I haven’t posted much about is about their music education and public performances (recitals). This weekend was relatively busy, with a piano duet recital on Friday and a master class on Sunday. Since I video record these performances, I thought I’d make a YouTube video of three of their performances. In October, along with other students at the conservatory, both W and J performed solo piano pieces. J performed a Sonatina by Kabalevsky, and W performed a selection of short piano pieces by Muczynski. And on Friday, the boys performed a piano duet by Mozart (3rd movement of K19d).
