Marin had her first solo violin recital! Her new teacher does not do large group recitals with her students, but instead has them each do a solo presentation once they have completed an entire book. So Marin's recital was for Suzuki Book One, and it was an incredible accomplishment to hear her play 16 songs continuously from memory (with piano accompaniment).
We invited several friends, some local family, and we actually packed out that little church pretty well! It was a bit nerve wracking being the only performer in the show but she did SO AWESOME. I am so proud of her, learning a new instrument and continuing to grow and improve with zero family help (none of us have any experience with string instruments). We had a nice little reception afterwards, and we have her two siblings to thank for passing out programs and helping to set up the 100% gluten free refreshment table!
