Bed in Summer by Robert Louis Stevenson

Here is Emma’s latest memorized poem! (A heads up that she did have an orthodontic appliance put in a few weeks ago, so her speech may seem a little different. I can not tell where she is compared to before she had it put in, but she has come a long ways in the past few weeks!)

We are hoping to have her next poem up this coming week! She is working hard on polishing a Halloween poem!

violin video

Wanted to add a video of where she is now. Her practice is going to start building her up to play all the Twinkle variations in a row without stopping, while adding in new songs.

The video has her playing "Mississippi Hot Dog" and "1,2, shush 3". She then plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (which we are also working on) and then the first line of her new song "Lightly Row." She has taken to the new song better than I thought after playing the same notes for the past 4-5 months. After she starts (and stops) during the new song, you will see her glance over her shoulder at a white board where I wrote down the notes/fingers for the first line. After playing twice today she had it down! I think she got confused in the video since she had played the other songs first.

(Ignore the split second of hockey in the beginning!)

Here is some video from Emma's hockey game Friday... And btw.. she is now Blue #4 (the smaller of the two blue #4's - although the other #4 has switched to a new number). Starts out with a wave to her fans and then the action... :)
