Abbey started taking violin in November
She has a darling teacher--Melissa Willard
She has learned
**The parts of the violin
**The parts of the bow
**resting position
** playing position
**String names
**How to hold the violin and bow
{we're still working on her bow hold}
And last week her first song: Mississippi Mud pie
{it is played on one single open string}
She is doing so well, and will practice with me everyday! I hope she keeps up the enthusiasm. And the best part...it gets me playing again!! I LOVE it!
