Whitney was able to complete the 5A level of the Arizona Study Program this past school year. Her teacher, Mrs. Linda Johnson presented the awards to her participating students at the spring piano recital. Whitney earned Superior with Honors once again. The songs she memorized:
Minuet in D minor BWV 132 by J.S. Bach
Sonatina Op. 3b, No. 3 by Clementi
Douce Plainte (Tender Grieving) by Burgmuller
Blues Tango by Vandall
Whitney was Linda's only student to earn a superior on all four of her songs. I was a little worried that Whitney might not do as well this year as she was not able to practice as much due to her busy schedule. I had shared this concern with Chris. His reaction: to tell Whitney I did not think she would do as well and that if she earned the highest marks again, he would reward her with a special something! Linda says Whitney, "Is quite the performer!" Nerves seem to work in her favor. She plays her absolute best when performing. Whitney the Wonder Girl!
