Music to my Ears

Mrs. Jones is a wonderful music teacher and we are so thankful to her for creating such a special evening. 

Play Video and Enjoy!
This was her final song, Song of the Wind.  I love her cute bow circles. The smile that comes across her face as she nears the end knowing that she has done a good job is just priceless!!!

Lily Grace started the violin around the beginning of December so she's only been playing just a little over 2 months.  She practices most every day for 30 minutes and for the most part, does so without complaint and by her own initiative.  
Beginning mid December, she had only been taking lessons for 2 weeks when the music school held Winter Recital.  Her music teacher Mrs. Jones felt that it was too soon to throw her in to that.  Instead, Mrs. Jones held a mini recital last night for Lily Grace and one of her other students.  It was so sweet.
Lily Grace performed three songs, A Twinkle Variation, Lightly Row and Song of the Wind.   She did a beautiful job. When it was all over she kept telling us how proud she was of herself and simply beaming with pride.  Her constant smile said it all.  Later in the evening, she confided in us that she was really scared at home but "just did it." Lily Grace, daddy and I would have never known that you were scared beforehand.  You handled it like a pro and you should be proud because you did do it and not only that, you did it very well!!!
We love you Lily Grace!  Thank you for performing for us. We are so, so proud of you!
