    01.25.2011 The First Lesson

    Today sis had her first VIOLIN lesson. We got it all tuned up yesterday...and today she sat and listened and tried and practiced. It's so cute her violin is a deep purple. Her Auntie Darla bought it for her last Christmas and it has sat in it's case for a whole year+ waiting for love and attention.

    Well, at school in music class they asked the kids if they played an instrument and she said "i have a violin". There is another girl in her class who plays the violin so i think that was a bonding / friendship making opportunity she saw...and next thing i know she is begging for it to be fixed. So she now takes lessons (private lessons - though at her new school) after school once a week for now. We could go 2x week but we just can't afford that right now.

    She also likes to play the piano and is actually VERY good for being self-taught for the most part and learning by ear. But we are going to concentrate on one thing at a time. We haven't done any horse lessons since mid-Nov due to cost...so i think we can manage this for a while.

    She has been truly blessed by God, as neither DeRell nor I have any musical talent / ability whatsoever. I hope it is a gift she will cherish and share.

    When she got home she immediately pulled it out and began practicing what she had just learned. I didn't bring my camera to the lesson so it was great that i was able to catch a few shots at home. Enjoy.
