We love, and appreciate music so much. So much that our house literally sounds like a music hall. Since Sierra has been gone there hasn't been to much piano playing, but there is certainly a lot of violin playing.
I usually cancel lessons for the summer, but this year I didn't. I put time in for Lexie to take lessons once a week, and managed squeezing in time throughout all the traveling we've done. I can tell that music makes the girls happy, and that going to their lessons is an accomplishment, and a goal.
A goal knowing and hoping that if they continue to keep playing that they can be the best pianist, and violinist this side of Jersey. In my eyes they are. They are hardworking, and practice so hard. Lexie is my violinist, and she loves playing. It has been a great summer because she continues to improve on her technique, and having a great teacher makes all the difference.
Once again we said goodbye to Sara as she is returning to NYU again. I was worrying about finding another teacher on short notice with school starting soon. Luckily Sara gave me the number of the woman that taught her since she was seven.
We met with her the other day, and we got along really well. This woman is very knowledgeable, and sharp! Her credentials are impressive, and has taught for 30 years. She is very experienced and was blown away at our recent trial lesson she gave Lexie. She is a sweet lady, and someone that I feel I can look up to as a mother.
I vined a little bit of her playing here, and her first lesson with her went well. I know that with a teacher like Ms. Alice Lexie is going to learn more, and perhaps more throughly. There is no perfect violinist, but really good violin players, and I believe that Lexie will get to that point with Ms. Alice in hopes that she will make it into the All South Jersey Junior Orchestra again (and maybe even play like Lindsey Stirling someday!)
