Jack Plays


...the violin! I gave him his first lesson on Monday. He was so excited. I didn't think he would be the one to love the violin, but he does. I am so proud of him. He did a great job and didn't get frustrated. He loves to sing, "never touch the bow hair." Today I am going to see if he would prefer learning the cello. That is the instrument I would pick for him, but I don't know how to play it. My dad suggested I get a beginner book and teach from that. That's what his mom did for him and he is a sensational cellist. Maybe Jack will be one day too...or a great violinist!

(Ignore all of the toys in the background. We played really hard before and after his lesson)

I thought maybe the toys had just been dancing to Jack's music and they went motionless again when he stopped.

I would pick the cello for Jack too. But I'm sure he would be great at the violin.

You play the violin? What a talented lady you are!

That's so great. I love that you can teach them.

Poor Natalie wants to play violin so badly--I'm still trying to find her a teacher. But she did just start the flute so she's happy for now. Your mother taught Natalie for a few months when she was 3--just before Mother got sick.
