In September, Kalleigh started Suzuki violin lessons. Her teacher's name is Yuko Saito. Every Wednesday, Kalleigh makes the journey with her little pretend violin to practice the rhythms, learn new beats and songs. Soon she will be upgrading to an actual violin! It is fun to watch her learn, grow and develop her skills and we can't wait until she has a "real violin" to practice on!
Last night (Friday-October 26th) we traveled to Dawson, MN to see Midori, a famous violinist. She was in concert with Robert McDonald who played the piano. Talk about an amazing adventure. Midori was amazing, she spent about 2 1/2 hours exhibiting her talent which left us breathless. Kalleigh was amazed at the skill she demonstrated and couldn't stop talking about her moves and the music. It was a great date night for mom and Kalleigh and we had a wonderful time! Midori spent time after her concert signing autographs for the future violinists. Kalleigh was able to get Midori to sign her violin. What a perfect ending to a wonderful night of adventures and fun!

Cool!! Sound like fun for you and Wes and Kalliegh! I can't believe she's old enough to start lessons! You'll have to post a video of Kalliegh playing!
How wonderful! When Kalliegh learns more she will have to give us a recital at the Serie Christmas..haha!
Wish I could have been there too! How fun for you guys. Mom said Kalleigh is just a riot and asked, "Do you suppose Miss Yuko gave Midori lessons too?" Gotta love kids! Miss you guys!
