Today in group lesson their teacher had them partner up and
work together to play through Twinkle Variation A. One person held the violin and fingered the
strings while the other one did all of the bowing. When she told them what they
were going to do I had no idea how they would manage it but after a few
hesitant notes they all just played. Now I'm not saying it was the best they've
ever played but they made it all the way through the song without any real
problem and without any harm coming to any violins. With Arowyn & Teagan
being partnered up with each other there's never really any way of knowing how
that will turn out much less with a delicate instrument in the balance. So I
sat and watched with baited breath until it was over when I could smile and at
how well they'd done, and breathe again.
