Our Curly Musician
More pictures, courtesy of Aunt Gretchen. Gretchen decided that since Kathrynne's hair is curly, she needed to weti it and gel it and take some pictures of it (What else are aunts for?!). Problem is, she had the hardest time getting Kathrynne to stay still for a picture to show her stylish new look. She finally resorted to letting her play the piano...
She already looks like she has the form of a musician, doesn't she? :) Kathrynne loves music. We have sought to instill in her from birth a love for good music and we normally have melodious music ringing through our home for most of the day. When you say the word "music" she immediately starts conducting and then points to our stereo/CD player and motions for us to turn it on. I am anxious to begin violin lessons with her and Jesse wants to buy her a 1/32nd violin -- but we have to wait until she is at least 18 months. The youngest I've started teaching anyone is 4 years old, but I don't think Jesse will be able to wait that long for me to start with Kathrynne.

That is neat that you are going to start teaching her violin when she is so young! I know the Gardners (at the Strings Workshop) only recommend 3½ being the youngest, but hey, if they are willing, I say teach them! =)
Wow! Kathrynne is so privileged! Even though I must say I had an excellent music education, I still wish I was taught (especially in the advanced stage) by a God-fearing teacher. I plan to teach my kids (when the Lord gives me some!) that the sole purpose of music is to express our praise and worship of God, and I think it's so great that you're already having that privilege!
how cute :) she really does have good form!
not sure what happened there - i mean to say that "she really does have good form!"
That is so cute! That would be great if she took to music right away and you were able to start teaching her before too long. What cute curly hair, I say she gets that from her dad. ;o)
I always wanted to learn the violin. Music is so important in a child's education. I know the basics of the flute and took piano for a few years in my teens, but wish I could have had the opportunity for more rigid musical training.
One of my dad's cousins has 9 children, and they all play the violin by ear just beautifully! Well, maybe the youngest hasn't started yet. . . They have 8 boys and a girl, and it is always so sweet to see all the boys dressed in matching plaid, button-down shirts and slacks up there with their sister in a pretty, coordinating dress. Their dad often accompanies them on the piano.
