Studio Recital - April

Both boys performed violin pieces at Alexis' studio recital this Spring. 
 
Ben:  Suzuki Violin Book 3 - Humoresque (my favorite!!)
Trevin:  Suzuki Violin Book 1  - Minuet 3
 
Other tidbits regarding their violin progress:
Trevin moved up to 1/2 size violin the week after this recital.  He is skipping the last piece (for now) in Book 1 & is starting  Book 2! 
 
Ben is nearly ready for a full size violin.  We found a fantastic handmade Amati violin for him thru a local violin shop.  The sound is bright & clear.  Over time Alexis says the sound will have even more depth & richness.  Her expertise & very good ear for such things is invaluable.  (confession:  I play on it every chance I get).  He is currently working on the last piece in Book 3.
