Happy 90th Grandma

Our dear Grandma Florence turned 90 earlier in December.  We enjoyed extending the celebration while she was down visiting us in Texas.  Precious memories & delicious cake makes for a perfect combo.

Winter Violin Recital

Trevin:  Monkey Song & the DAD song (composed by his teacher)

Benjamin:  Minuet 3 (Suzuki Book 1)
 
Miss Alexis gave the older students something to read at the concert.  It was delightful & inspiring. 
 
an excerpt that Benjamin read:
Learn from Repeats:
A section that has a repeat is played another time.  If we experience a repeat in life, it is important to remember what happened the first time and try to make the second chance even better.
 
In music, the repeat is an opportunity to correct any flaws and also do something a little different and better..
