Year two at Blue Lake did not disappoint!

The girl had so much fun! We hustled to class three times a day.

She learned all kinds of amazing things, like how to be a unicorn.

How to make the cello sound like a cricket, a pig, a mouse, a frog, and a cow.

She also learned a lot of music, and loved playing Minuet in C

Playing with her friends was a highlight.

Other highlights included:
Scooter Riding, Critter-hunting (sometimes at the same time)

Sleeping in her sleeping bag:

Eating her very first ice cream cone:

Art Barn!!!

The music was the best part! Lessons and learning Minuet No. 2

Thanks to great teachers!

Playing the concert on the big stage is a great way to end!

We will be back again next year!!!

The girl has really been working hard on her cello.  She practices every morning and has been enjoying learning piece after piece!  She’s been learning fancy bowing techniques (slurs and hook bows), and shifting!  She is on the last piece in book one, and loves to tell people that she is learning Bach.

In addition to all of her usual work, the girl has been working hard to prepare for a wedding! She’s going to play for our good friend’s wedding in the mountains of Virginia next weekend. Today, while we were practicing, she told me that playing in a wedding “is (her) first dream coming true!”

I’m sure it will be wonderful! Let’s hope the cello makes it through all of the air travel!
