Well, I had my very first official violin lesson today. While I don't completely suck, I am far from the symphony orchestra. The widely accepted belief that everyone starts out with "Hot Cross Buns" is wrong! My first song is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, so go figure how that came around...
Needless to say, Sarah is a wonderful teacher, and I enjoy her special teaching methods that she uses on her six-year-old students. :) I am so excited to finally be starting on this. I've been waiting for months to be able to have proper lessons and really put myself fully into this. Who knows? Maybe by next year's Soup n' Sing, we'll have piano, flute, and not only bass and cello, but maybe a violin? If Gramma can stand the sound...hehe. Add in a few maracas and we'll be set!
Well, I can't wait to come back over the summer (since I don't think I'll quite have things down by spring break) and play for you! More music in the house...I love it!
And whoever is complaining about life can just come to me, and I'll pull out my violin for you...'cause I really know how to make that thing squeak!!
I love how Aragorn is just in the corner staring....
