Violin Recital

Another night of music!

Tonight was My Darlings violin recital.

This group has really grown.  AND the talent is growing as well!

My Darling has taken violin for 2 years.  She is very blessed to have a good ear for the music.  She plays by ear most of the time BUT can also read the music.  

All music has to be memorized, anyway!

She enjoys private lessons -- she loves her teacher.

BUT

When it comes to the recital ----

Well, she is SOOOOO serious!

She tells me that she shakes in her seat.

Right before the recital -- she said she is shaking here :)

The group played some fun music!  They even played some of the fiddling music they learned as a group back in November.

Very focused!

She had a solo -- Minuet #1 by Bach

She played well --

She was angled towards the pianist so we could not see her face.

Although, she missed 2 notes in the middle BUT was able to find her spot and get right back on.  

Well, she was a bit disappointed with herself 

AND 

it took her a little bit to get over it -- after the recital ended!

After the recital.

She did great!  Each time it gets easier.  

We got her a violin necklace with her birthstone.  She LOVED it!

We were very thankful that Lauren was able to come and stay with Elizabeth and BaJabs so that Matt and I could go to the recital.
