So Natalie has been spending a good deal of her time with school work this past semester. She loves it so much that to her it doesn't feel like work and to me it just looks like she's goofing off. Her teacher had a violin made & shipped from Chicago for her to play & see if she liked. He then recommended that she go to a violin shop in Utah & try two other violins in the same price range. It has been fun to hear her play & observe the different sounds & charecter of each of the violins. Luckily these violins are not worth the same amount as the Strad that Nat was playing in an earlier blog. We are grateful for Natalie's love of music & her determination to share it with the rest of us. I can't figure out if I am just getting older or my brain has been warped, but some of that classical stuff isn't quite as bad as it used to be. Natalie has had some amazing concerts & made some great friends. Now that schools over hopefully we will both try to find our yard and get it cleaned up.
