Scales


Alexandra has been taking violin lessons for 6 months now and has been playing a 3 octave G Major scale for several weeks. This is something that I never did until I was probably 12 years old.

Well, when we arrived for her lesson with Mr. Burroughs today he was just finishing up a lesson with one of the students there at the college. He asked Alexandra to get out her violin and play a 3 octave scale for this young man. She did...and she did it well.

After he left Mr. Burroughs informed Alexandra that today was the very first day that the other student (a college age student) had ever attempted a 3 octave scale.

Needless to say, I am a very proud Mama!
