The Violinist

This morning was Hunter’s first violin concert. He did an awesome job. I just wish I had brought the video camera! They played through Jingle Bells, Twinkle Twinkle, Two Step March, and Ode to Joy. Rob and I loved watching him play and were so proud! He hates to practice of course, but I’m hoping that after his performance today he’ll be glad I make him do it.

Before – Tuning Up

During the encore of Two Step March

Afterwards – Great job Hunter!

    Way to go Hunter! The violin is a remarkable instrument, and I strongly admire those who can play it well, because it shows they have determination and skill, and have worked hard to master their talent. Whenever a student in my seminary class played the violin, I could see in the faces of other students how much they admired them for their ability. One of my uncles took lessons when he was a boy, and played it very well. Two of his children learned to play, and then they made sure their children took lessons, and now their family is like an orchestra – everyone plays an instrument. Stick with it and the results will make you proud, and be a blessing to those who hear you perform.

    Hunter, awesome job! We’re so proud of you! It’s no easy task is it, all of that practicing, but I know you are more than equal to it! I make Ciel practice every day too, and sometimes, she would rather be doing something else.
