Let the recitals begin...

We had the first of the Spring recitals this afternoon. Violin was first, with a school program and ballet to follow in the next couple weeks. Sadie did great! She has progressed to playing her first Twinkle variation. Since she is learning the Suzuki method, she learns different rhythms and then puts them together. (Actually, I could say that we are all learning the Suzuki method with the practicing and practicing that we do.) We have several different rhythms that we practice and Claire has even learned a few songs. (Singing, not playing.) Anyway, Sadie will learn different variations of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star before she learns it the way we all know it. This variation is with the rhythm "I'm A Big Red A-pple" or "Pea-nut-Bu-tter-jel-ly." Just thought I would include that so you can sing along with the video if you want. We've been singing it for weeks at our house!
