I hope you can forgive me for not being able to resist to show off my student Riley, 12 years old.

This is her performing, playing and singing, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, although, she was inspired by Alexandra Burke's version.

She came in a couple of weeks ago wanting to learn this song which she intended to perform at a concert. (i have to say the venue was quite something. Personally I've never performed with a big screen behind me. :ohmy: ). She didn't do much fingerpicking just yet, so in a short amount of time, she really had to step on the gas for it. Her ability to also sing on top of that is just amazing.
Thankfully her mom had recorded it and send it to me. It just totally blew me away.....! I hope you all can see why I'm so proud of her. It also reminds me why I love what I do so much. As her teacher, this is simply.....I can't even describe it. :S :cheer:
