5 year old violin

(screech screech!)

Actually, it's not that bad. It's pretty cute...most of the time.
Micaela started taking violin lessons in February, so she has about 6 weeks under her belt now, and she can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star! Let me tell you, THAT is an accomplishment! She spent a few weeks learning how to hold the bow and the violin, learning posture, etc. Now we're off and running! Or screeching, I guess.
The only drawback so far is that she has about a 30 second endurance before the "But I'm tired!" whining starts and then, of course, she's off to run like crazy around the backyard. Poor tired girl.. :)

Here she is with her teacher last week:



Now we have to work on keeping that pinky reined in.. :)
