Thanks for a fun concert and to all who participated. 

I know it's a long drive, but I really do enjoy seeing everyone perform together!

Pre-Twinkle performance

Hard to get a good view, but we tried!

Good examples, studio fun and just pics!

I haven't uploaded studio pics in a while.

These were back from the summer, but... enjoy!!!

Good 'ol fashioned studio fun!

Look at that amazing curvy-fingered bowhold. I loooove it!

Who says violin playing can't be fun!?

Jellyfish video

This is a perfect example of how a jellyfish moves in the water. I saw this when I was in Omaha at the Henry Doorly Zoo. They have an aquarium right inside the zoo! 

This is what I am thinking about when I want you to have a Jellyfish hand 

(relaxed, flexible fingers) in your bowhand. 

ENJOY!

Finn and Jacqueline devising strategies on the best Music Alphabet design.

Just some lesson shenanigans. :-)

Sometimes you just have to go with it....

As a teacher I would have rolled my eyes at this.

As a parent, 

sometimes you have to pick your battles and 

be happy when you get them to actually practice!
