Violin Lessons

Disclaimer:

I in no way whatsoever forced my child to play the violin.

She decided she wanted to have violin lessons herself.

The part that I hated was that Ellie wanted to carry/wear her violin on the airplane back from AZ to KS and many many adults were making comments and looking at us like horrible parents.

They just didn't know that SHE asked to bring the violin back home from gramma's house and have lessons with mom!

They presumed that we were forcing her to play the violin and such terrible people we were to do that to a kid who doesn't even look like 2.5 yrs old to most people.

Anyways, I behaved and didn't react to the stares and whispers that we of course could hear clearly.

We have lessons whenever she asks, I don't force them, and we do our best.

She can name all the parts of the violin

Go to rest position

Ellie can do a form of "Belly-Up"

Almost has a bow hold

Justin hasn't had lessons since April 2012 I think

So he will do lessons when Ellie does lessons

We are still working on posture while learning Lightly Row
