here we go again

I'm not sure I'm ready. I should be ready as I've known about this for a while now, but I'm just not quite prepared to take the plunge and become a Suzuki parent for the second time. Why you ask? Because the violin is so involved on the parents part I don't know if I'm ready to start from scratch right now. Well, I better hurry because I only have a few hours to contemplate my unreadiness.

On the other hand Megan is more than ready. She sure was cute this afternoon when we went to get her a violin. I can't believe how small it is (I've forgotten), and how adorable she looks holding it. She is very excited and won't stop asking me if she can hold it and now she has resolved to say, "I'm just going to look at it, ok?" It cracks me up the way this girl always talks in the affirmative as if the answer will undoubtedly be yes...it's certainly hard to say no to. I guess it's a good thing she wants to play so badly, but I think she may just drive me crazy until she does. Thank goodness it's all in good time. She still has several weeks using a fake violin before she can move onto the real thing.

Wish us luck. I know I'm going to need it.

That is one tiny violin! I have never looked into Suzuki, so I have no idea the kind of effort and time involved for the parent, but know that you have the success and experience with Bella to create the same kind of opportunity for any of your daughters. And...now I'm reminded that I still need to find a piano teacher!:)

How cute that she is so excited about it! A new violin player is hard on any parents' ears, regardless of the time commitment for Suzuki. Good luck!

I posted about this recently too. Luci has been asking for 3 years now and I finally decided I will make the committment with her. Her school uses the Suzuki method also. I go to a parent meeting next week to learn the details.

I have no idea on the whole Suzuki thing, but that picture is so cute. Good luck!

That is so cute! I didn't know that you were starting Megan on the violin. I hope that she loves it. You are so dedicated to do that, I know it takes a lot of work on your part. She's adorable! Have fun!

Good luck! I can say that I wish wish wish my parents would have encouraged/made me stick it out with the piano. You are teaching and endearing her with a life skill and love for music, not only a talent. Good for you and good for her and good luck to you all!
