Book 1 Graduate

Today Maya had her Book 1 graduation and recital. She is now done with Book 1 (may we never speak of it again). For the last month she's been working very hard at recording all the pieces and then today she performed Gavotte, got her certificate, and just like that she was done with Book 1 (may we never speak of it again). She was so relieved and thankful that this was over being that she's been working on Book 2 for sometime but just missed being ready to do graduation last spring by a couple weeks - this has left her in a bit of a "Suzuki no-mans-land" where she's been trying to move forward while still having to use her practice time to do review, record, and prepare to perform these old pieces she'd learned and tired of a year ago - but as of today she is officially done with Book 1 (may we never speak of it again).
