Well, sorta. I started violin lessons yesterday with the OKC Philharmonic “Be the Orchestra” program. I've wanted to play the violin since I was about 4, so I am really excited to finally be learning! We haven’t even gotten the bow out yet, but I can sure pluck strings with the best of ‘em. Only 4 notes (the notes where you don’t have to push down any strings), but I’m sure I can make a beautiful song out of those 4 notes!I think Norman will enjoy my at-home practicing immensely. Especially once we start using the bow (next week!) and I am squeeking out note after note. He howls when I play the piano (actually, I prefer to call it “singing,” thank you) so I know he will enjoy accompanying me on the violin as well.
Stay tuned for next week’s recap of “the first lesson with the bow”…insert music of frightening anticipation here…

So fun! And, I didn't know you were such a celebrity at HHBC! We were all like "WOW! Liesl's on stage!" :)
I think that is so cool that you are taking lessons! You will have to give a concert for us once you finish!!!
That is so great! I wish I could be there taking the class with you. I have given up on violin for now- the self teaching thing got a little too hard. But maybe next time I'm on a "hiatus" i can pick it up again. Good luck with it!
