chanda had a lesson with ina today. her regular violin teacher had a concert in new jersey, and he asked a colleague of his from another school to teach his monday evening third street students. this isn't the first time that we have met ina. in may of 2005, chanda performed at a concert in mid-town with another school for which jose taught. ina led the children through several songs. chanda was five at the time (she's in the pink dress).
i can't believe six years have gone by. ina remembered chanda playing at this concert and was delighted to see her again. we felt the same. it was a fun lesson. she worked with chanda on different phrasings for the song she's working on (double violin concerto). we'll see her again next monday before jose returns.this evening we read the legend of st. nicholas, by demi, and about st. nicholas day in slovakia from the anabel kindersley's celebrations book. m and c left their large felted slippers on the windowsill. korrina did also. she left a high heel black shoe.
Such a sweet picture of Chanda! You are so lucky to live in a city with so many opportunities for your children! We really have to search for them.
