In mid July Bentley had his second Suzuki recital, a celebration of finishing the second book in the Suzuki Cello series! The Suzuki method is tough because it requires memorization of all the songs in order for you to "pass" them off with your teacher - I can't imagine remembering that many songs in my head! Bentley did a lovely job, and he worked hard on a "stretch" encore piece, a version of Gigue by Bach. Last year's recital featured Bentley and his teacher on cello as the accompanist, this year his teacher wanted him to try playing with a piano. We were lucky to get hooked up with an awesome pianist, and the performance was awesome! Great work, Bentley!
