Karianna has had a fabulous year in orchestra, all the more exciting because it is her first official year playing the violin. We have been so proud of her hard work and dedication-she has a great ear for music and can pick up a tune, memorize words, and mimic a song very easily. She has always done that on her recorder, singing, and with the piano when she has the chance--I love her musical inclinations, as a singer myself! 
Karianna's final concert of the year was tonight, and she did beautifully playing with the 4th grade orchestra. As my mom said, she has a very smooth stroke on the strings, and she holds her violin very professionally, for lack of a better word, while playing. She looks so grown up playing and has gained a lot of confidence, as well as practice reading music. She has also made lots of friends in orchestra, and we have appreciated her teacher's guidance. We are working on getting a tutor for summer, as we plan to continue renting her violin throughout the summer months. Great job Karianna!
