Future Musicians

Ava and Isaac have always had a great interest in music and musical instruments. They even have rhythm. Lately, they've had an interest in playing my violin (with supervision). I say, the earlier they experiment, the easier it will be for them later. We may have a family of musicians in the near future; perhaps a family band?
:)


Ava is left-handed. She doesn't know that she is actually at an advantage playing a standard violin in the standard way. A lefties hand is their dominant one, this makes it easier to finger the strings. The other hand mostly grips the bow and is not used as much as the dominant hand.
She picked up that violin and started to play like she's been doing it for a month...... Ha!



Isaac equally loves to play. He's got some growing to do. But, the ambition is there :)


Ava also has her guitar. The strings need to be replaced, but she still manages.

  1. Good for them! I bet seeing their dad play has a huge influence on them. Here's hoping for more sweet music :)
