My Darling's
Christmas Violin Recital
Oh, my .... she's looking so grown-up!!
Tuning BEFORE the concert.
WAITING ......
Getting all set-up.
FOCUSED!!!!
There is so much to do while playing a violin --
correct position of violin, moving fingers for the correct notes, pulling the bow back and forth to make the music -- AND doing it correctly, watching the conductor, REMEMBERING the music -- YES, all of the music was memorized -- and listening to others. AND I'm sure I missed something :)
My Darling was placed with all kids older than her -- she LOVES that. She has really worked hard to play well in a short time.
Beautiful!
This concert was amazing. The students played many pieces together. There were many with solos -- not My Darling this time. She was told at the end of the concert that she would have a solo in the Spring Concert -- that made her night :)
They also brought in a guest professional violinist. The students had practiced a particular part for Canon in D -- SO they had the students, a few guests violinist, a electric bass guitarist AND the professional play. Oh, my -- it was glorious!
They finished the night by listening to a short motivational speech from the professional. He encouraged the students to continue and stated all the 'positives' to playing the violin!
AND
Everyone had the privilege to listen to him play -- again.
