Fiddling around

Tess is continuing fiddle lessons this summer. I love the fact that she picks up the fiddle every day without having to be told to do so. I also appreciate the way her teacher has allowed and encouraged Tess to play with other more advanced players, often in public venues.


Performing is becoming something that is not strange or intimidating to her. Last week they played in front of WalMart for a couple of hours. Afterwards they counted up their tips. They pulled in about 14 dollars each for about two hours of playing. Just another piece of the motivational puzzle. Tomorrow, Tess and I are going to Cove to take a look at a larger instrument. She's moving up from a 1/2 to a 3/4.
