Our new violin student


Erin had her first violin lesson today. She has been asking since this summer when she could play violin like her big sister Kaylee. Kaylee started playing violin at four years old and I vowed never to start a child of mine that young again because selfishly it was just so much work as the parent to keep up with all the Suzuki method wanted you to do "alongside" your child.

Well, here I am again tracing footprints for proper foot positioning and jotting notes on what to work on for the next week. Erin was persistent in asking to play and God worked on my heart to make this commitment again. She was elated to start her lessons to say the least. I am thankful she will also have a very helpful big sister to practice with on the days mommy just can't keep it all together!
