violin lessons!

"Make a Joyful NOISE to the Lord!"
~ Psalm 100 ~
Following in the footsteps of her Auntie Melanie,
Elianna has started violin lessons!

Here she is getting measured for her violin

Weekly lessons take place at Bemidji Music Studio

And she ADORES her music instructor, Eliza Tingelstad!

We are having a blast with music practice everyday. Elijah practices right along with us and is learning by watching and hearing. Eliza showed me a great tool in getting a two and three year old to practice for 30-40 minutes each day. If you place a gummy life saver candy on the end of their bow, they can eat it at the end of their practice time...works like a gem - a true "life saver!"
