Three hours of practice this morning for the girls in Clara's trio--Christmas songs, wedding music, and general loveliness. To my mind, it beats a rock band in the garage!
I feel like I can hear it. So lovely. In college, a professional violinist lived on the other side of my apartment wall and he practiced diligently. He was horrified when I told him that I woke up hearing his music in the morning (late morning - this was college), but I assured him it was so pleasant. Made my life feel illuminated with a soundtrack.
Now I am well and truly envious of you! How lovely to get to listen to such music for hours. I live on a boarding school campus here in Kenya and the son of our music teacher is a wonderful violinist. I loved hearing him practice. Unfortunately, he has just graduated and gone to the U.S. to pursue music after getting a good scholarship. He taught my daughter violin and I dream of her playing for me but she is a) only a beginner and b) not exactly motivated to work hard.
I think that is lovely and would very much enjoy that kind of class and beauty in my home as well...but, I also love a good garage rock band there is talent there too, just a different sort!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have three daughters whom I homeschool: Clara (16), Bella (14), and Daisy (7), and two older sons: Giles (20), a college graduate, and Felix (18), a college freshman. I'm 41 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

Bliss.

Lisateresa - Happy Thanksgiving
I just know it's so, so lovely. Would love to actually hear it...
Lovely! And indeed, so much nicer than a rock band!
How lovely, Anna I hope you can tape a little of their music this year as you did Bella's singing last year.
Happy Thanksgiving to all at PVS from us in Australia.

I love seeing Clara's bare feet amidst such elegance!
