"Some day you will play a string instrument...a cello, or a violin perhaps."
The day finally arrived, along with the teacher...at my house.
The plan was that I might possibly learn how to play some too. I did learn. I learned that I did not prefer the violin as my instrument of choice. Something about the neck position, and even though I could read the music, getting my fingers to cooperate on those strings was another matter altogether.
On Thursday mornings you will find me blissful as I observe my daughter learning to play this beautiful instrument.
But I feel somewhat like I must look into the camera and make a disparaging statement,
"I am a violin student dropout."

Oh, she is such a cutie.
Hehehehe....I think I would be, too.
I love the look of concentration on that sweet girl!
I think you were very brave to give it a try. That's more than I did:)
Now that my girls are married I miss hearing strings in the house. To give a child the gift of being able to play an instrument as beautiful sounding as a violin (although the practice-sessions may not sound beautiful at the time) is something of great worth. Sorry the violin didn't "take" for you. I had two cello lessons in 2003.
