About a month ago Kennedy came home with a letter saying that Orchestra would be starting for anyone interested. Fourth grade! Are you kidding me? Well, she has heard that Greg used to play the violin and for a few years now has wanted to play it. She was so excited when we told her that she could give it a try. Thursday was the first lesson. She will have practice for it every Thursday at her school, during the school day, for 30 minutes. They will also have three concerts throughout the school year. Starting the end of October they will also be having a 1 hour practice BEFORE school each Thursday morning to prepare for the concerts that will take place with the 5th graders. Below are some pictures of what took place Thursday after she brought the violin home for the first time.
Greg had to give it a try to see if it was like riding a bike. Once you learn you never forget. I don't think that is true with violins!
Then Kennedy got out her book and stand and gave it a try. It was her first time using the bow. They had not even picked them up in their first practice, so she was having a great time making noise!
Poor Mackenzie! While Kennedy was playing around with it I looked over to the couch to see Mackenzie looking like this. I don't think she is a fan of the violin!

That's awesome. Being a musician myself it always encouraging to see schools offering these types of programs...Keep it up Kennedy!!!
Maybe she can teach Andrea one of these days how to play, I got Andrea a violin a couple years back but she has yet to begin learning. You might have better luck with Adelyn ;)
