Fabulous, I love these. Although I am going to disagree about recitals. Are recitals in the U.S. different than those in Canada? Because I absolutely love my kids' recitals, and they love them too. I think it depends on the teacher - there are better and worse ways to do them - but I've been lucky and every performance they've ever given has almost brought me to tears, for them and all the other kids out there showing their stuff!
