Did you know that people call music the universal language? Even if you can't talk with someone because you speak different languages, you might know the same songs! You might also learn some new ones, though, because every country has its own special musical style and tradition. I LOVE Paraguayan music. Honestly, I didn't think it was anything special when I first came, but now I just love it and am really going to miss hearing it at all hours of the night (my apartment is in the center of the city, and there aren't any laws, here, about not playing music too loudly). OK, maybe I won't miss it at 2 in the morning. But I'll definitely miss hearing it as I walk down the sunny streets toward the market or school. OK, Alyssa, enough with the nostalgia. Get on with the story.So last Sunday night I got to go to a piano recital! I took some videos, so that you would be able to listen. Try and see how many you know! Some are Paraguayan, so you probably won't know those. But I think you'll like them. I especially think those in the 23-40 age group will like the last number :) The student learned it, by ear, and inserted it into several different places of Beethoven's "Moonlit Sonata." Have fun!

The top pic makes me miss these girls. Will you tell them hi for me? How are they doing? I know I can't really ask that collectively, but I thought I would anyway :) Sounds like Oct. 4 was a successful day with the kiddos, too. I'm glad you were feeling thankful :) I love you.
