Musical Martins

Here we have Elizabeth learning to play the clarinet.  She is getting quite good at destroying the reed while playing :)

Charles is giving Charlie viola lessons on a 1/16 size violin.  We got the violin on eBay for super cheap and Charles refitted it with viola strings.  I am personally pretty excited for our kids to start having their own instruments and learning music.  Charles will be a great, easy, and relaxed teacher.

Charles was a good and patient teacher for Josie. I am just thinking that young Josie would be quite jealous of young Charlie's fabulous colorful instrument, when hers was just ordinary old brown!

Thanks, Myrna! This has actually prodded me to toward getting a colorful electric viola for myself!

Hah! I got here from Myrna's blog because I blog surf like that sometimes. And I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I knew these people?" Well, it's funny. Hi! Thinking about you all and the viola, I had to laugh because I remember the first time you met Arlie, he'd trotted over from his apartment with his violin and said, "Let's have a jam session!" and you looked at him like he was from Mars.
