A New Violin Teacher and 1st Recital!

While we did love Jewelia's 1st violin teacher, he was a very busy young man who was in many orchestras, musicals, and choir groups, so it wasn't very often when he could teach her. Plus, he was about to go on a mission.  We felt bad, but we looked into finding another teacher who could teach Jewelia.


Jewelia soon met her new teacher Emily. She was very nice and Jewelia liked her right away. Soon she began going to violin lessons every week! She was so excited! She said that Thursdays were her favorite day of the whole week because it was when she had violin lessons.

Jewelia was a very good student and so only after a few months, she was invited to participate in her very first violin recital!

Jewelia dressed up all pretty for her first recital.

She had lots of family that came to see her!

She was going to play 2 songs. The first would be a duet with her teacher and the second she asked her brother Caleb to accompany her on piano.

Caleb was happy to help.

Here she is in a duet with her teacher called "Lightly Row":



And here she is playing "Andantino" (with Caleb on piano):



She did great! What a super 1st recital at only 5 years old!
