One very proud dad
 

Sophie played her violin in an orchestra for the first time last night, at a carol concert at Holy Trinity Church here in Shrewsbury. She was terrific. I couldn't believe it was my daughter up there with the big guns.

Well done mate!!!

well done Ed and well done sophie! :thumbsup:

That's a cool achievement. Even though I don't play now, I'm glad my parents (notably Mum) encouraged me to learn to read music and turned my immature thumping rendition of 'Puff the Magic Dragon' into something a bit more sophisticated on the piano...

... OK, so I gave up in a fit of pique aged 14 when I was told I wasn't to be taught the Blues, only classical. :roll:

She looks really please up there - enjoying it. 8)

And you ED instead of buying her a stratovarious u spent ur dosh on a new bike :notworthy:

Congratulations. Though there appears to be something wrong with the force of gravity in the first pic.

Fair point :lol:


:-({|= a Vanassea Mae in the making?

Blimey and I thought Liz had a big stupid grin on her face when she made her purchase on Saturday, it was nothing compared to your daughters in that 2nd picture 8)

Best day for us was when Michelle decided to give up murdering moggies and put her violin in the loft.

Parents should not be forced to endure their offsprings violin practice. That is why we pay tutors

well done sophie
When did she start learning violin?

my mates lad is only 7 and hes been playing the drums now for 3 years, hes just had a new ROLAND kit! hes very good.

As a failed fiddle player myself I know what a tricky instrument it is to master.

Well done indeed Sophie !

Well done, you must be very proud! She doesn't get her good looks from you though, does she? :P

Hi peepes, soz no reply, have been on the M5 down to Brizzle. S started learning violin at age 4. She has worked really hard. Have to say that my heart was near buursting when I saw her there playing, some tricky pieces too.

Good stuff,keep it up.
In years to come when technos from the third world will be two a penny having a real skill and talent that can't be easily replicated will be worth it's weight in gold. :)

:-({|= 8) =D>

Congratulations. As someone who used to play I can attest that the violin is far from an easy instrument and to get to that level is a huge achievement. She looks really happy to be there, well done for giving her the opportunities to get that good so young. :thumbsup:

I'm going to be buying an electric one in the new year. :)
