Violin Concert

Megan has been taking violin lessons now for one year. She has been working really hard and has learned all the songs in book one for the Suzuki Method of Violin. Her teacher is Andrea Taylor and does a very good job teaching young children to play violin. She does have a few teenager students, but most are as young as Megan or younger.

On June 7th, Megan's teacher held a violin concert for her students. Megan played two songs for her concert - "Tell me the Stories of Jesus" and "Minuet 1" by Bach. Megan and I played "Minuet 1" as a duet. Andrea helped us with our duet so we could make it sound OK. I have loved playing the violin with Megan. I used to play the violin years ago (when I was around 11). Ryan and his parents got me a violin for Christmas so that I could relearn how to play and learn how to do a duet with Megan. We had fun practicing together, and we hope to learn more duets in the future.
