Good News Bad News

Well there is good news and bad news in our family. The good news is that the kids are transferring to a brand new school that just opened this year. The bad news is that for Nate they have no musical strings program available there. Last year he took violin and did extremely well. This year he had his choice of violin, viola or cello. He chose the cello and now with moving to the new school there is no program for that. Plus he is in the safety patrol and trust me he takes that job very seriously. So while his Brother and Sister are very excited about the new school he is not quite as happy about the prospects there for him. His mother is going to work to see if she can find someone who will volunteer to give him 1 lesson a week as being a single mother it is not on her budget to pay $60.00 an hour. So keep him in your thoughts that he does not have to give up his music this year.

The New Yo Yo Ma

Last night one of my grandsons got to go pick his musical instrument he is going to play this year. Last year he played the violin in school. This year he had the choice of playing the violin again or the viola or the cello. He chose the cello. To tell you the truth I am not sure how he is going to get it back and forth to school. Even though he has one of the smaller size cello's it is still bigger it seems than him. Guess that is going to be a job for his mother to figure out for him. But I think he made a good choice and he seems to be happy with it. So time will tell if we have a new Yo Yo Ma in the family.
