I hate noise. My children are beyond loud, so I relate somewhat. Given that, A will probably choose a tuba or something when given a chance! She looks so grown up in this picture!
I usually make Molly practice outside. So the neighbours can "enjoy" her incredible talent. I does get better (and I can tell you, from experience, it is better than the saxaphone).
Personally, I would take a string instrument over something like a trumpet. Lauren started playing the violin at about the same age and I have enjoyed hearing her play from the beginning. It's been such a joy to watch her progress. And with free lessons??!!! Wow! Enjoy this time while it lasts!
Boy meets Girl. Girl moves in. Boy marries Girl. Boy and Girl try to start a family. Girl is pregnant. Girl is not pregnant. Repeat. Girl gets cancer. Boy and Girl keep trying. Nine Years later, they may be getting close. Only Time will Tell...
NOOOOOOOO.....
ReplyDeleteOh, I feel your pain. Mine started violin in grade 2. Invest in earplugs now.
Can't help but giggle Julie!
ReplyDeleteWow, free music lessons!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Royce gave O his old harmonica, and it drives me insane.
YAY! Love love love the violin! :) I am uber jealous that the school provides music lessons like that.

ReplyDeleteOy. Painful. But the potential for some great sounds long term!!! Just keep your eye on the prize... ha!

ReplyDeleteMelese looks similarly chagrined.
ReplyDeleteYou can totally do this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids all play...it is really great. But those Suzuki tunes will follow you to your grave.
No kidding.
That made me gag a little. I've been actively planting anti-violin seeds in Sidamo's brain, and they're backfiring. Do you have a garage? Earplugs?

ReplyDeleteOH NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs Prarie Dawn (from "Play With Me Sesame") might say, "Oh dear."
ReplyDeleteSeriously awesome. She looks like a star already!
ReplyDeleteJack plays drums. And we live in a ranch house, open floor plan. 'Nuff said?
ReplyDeleteOh boy, when she masters the violin it will be a glorious day, until then I feel for you.
