The Violinist

Beginning in fourth grade, students in our town can learn to play a string instrument through the school music department.  I mentioned this to Collin a year or more ago and he said he had no interest, that he just wanted to play the piano.  And then there was a demonstration for the fourth graders a week or so ago, and Collin came home all gung ho (I wonder if the phrase "gung ho" is politically correct?) to play the violin!  The price of the lessons (they are free, unless you consider our tax dollars) can't be beat, and while we have to rent the violin, it is a rent to own program, so as long as he sticks with it, we win!

The lessons should be starting soon, and Collin is looking forward to it!  He will continue playing the piano too, and he promises that he will practice both instruments daily without argument!  I would insert a smiley face here if I was a smiley face kind of person.
