Our Budding Violinist

It has been about eighteen months since Lauren has started taking Suzuki Violin. In that year we have had many ups and downs. Good practice days, bad to no practice days. Prepared at lessons, and some not so prepared at lessons. I will be honest, there have been days when I was regretting getting ourselves into this. At times she hates practicing. At times she hates going to lessons. At times she hates playing anything more than once. However, we have persevered and survived our first year. :) One thing about Lauren, she loves to perform. She can't wait until she can play in front of people. She lives for a concert. Even her first recital, she wasn't nervous, she was excited to play her little piece of "Pop Goes the Weasel." This past summer she played "I am Like a Star" for the primary program and did awesome!

Last week, Lauren's school had a talent show and Lauren was so excited to play "Allegro" by Dr. Suzuki. She was really excited and she did so good! Totally full of confidence. Unfortunately, the video is sideways. :) She loves to play (depending on the day) and she is doing well. I am so proud of her!
