Liam's first cello recital

Liam's goal in 2020 was to start playing cello (partly driven by the Piano Guys "Me and My Cello"). In order to "earn" the right, he had to prove that he would practice the piano nicely. He mostly did, so he got started late in 2020 with Kat Aguilar, a recommendation from his piano teacher Nora. Unsurprisingly, Kat reported to Nora after their first lesson that Liam was charming and super enthusiastic!

Liam has a good ear for music. When he started, he could correct if a note was sharp or flat and has progressed well. He still memorizes music very, very quickly and rarely practices with music after a few days of practicing it, which drives Dani nuts.

His first concert was held in a ballroom in the Marriott by Mason Montgomery Road. He looked and sounded confident and was happy the way he played.

It was nice to have a live concert after the past year that so many live events were cancelled!
