Today was Ryanna's violin concert and she did an excellent job. She played Suzuki's Perpetual Motion which has been quite a tricky song to learn. As you'd guess from the name, it is a bit of a circular song using the A Major scale. She was having problems remembering if she'd played the E ending or the A ending and then moving to the next section, however, she worked incredibly hard this week and put on such a wonderful performance. As you can tell from her teacher's big smile at the end, she was very proud too. I only wish I'd captured her wonderful bow that she does. (I was too excited to clap for her and turned off the camera.)
Please leave your comments for her here and I'll read them to her--she'll be very excited.

Great Job Ryanna! You are such a great vionel player!! Keep up the good work!!
I am so impressed!! Ryanna that had to take so much time and patience to learn. Way to go!!
Sorry we weren't at play group we are sharing the car. Unfortunately the shuttle doesn't take him to work. Don't you think we should all have a shuttle that takes our husbands to work? Where's the service when you need it!
Seth wanted me to tell Ryanna:
"You did great on your violin. I miss you and I wish I was back in Arizona again. You're my favorite friend."
Maryn wanted to say: "I want to give you a hug."
Ryanna, what a wonderful job you did in playing your song in your recent concert. You are definitely a dedicated performer!!! Way to play and what a cute dress you had on during the concert :) You really cncentrate and were able to get through the entire piece...that's impressive!!! Love you!
Ryanna,
That was fabulous! We are so impressed! It was so clear and was a long song to memorize. Thanks for sharing your video with us; it was really fun to be able to hear you play. Keep the videos coming.
Love,
Trevor, Lauren, & Bryce

WOW! You are the best!! That's a really hard song and you have practiced so hard to do so well! Keep it up!! Looking forward to hearing you play an even harder piece next time!!!

Wow Ryanna! I am so impressed....you have done such a good job on your violin! I know that is a pretty hard song!
PS...Audrey, have you ever had her watch Music from the Heart? I bet she'd love it. Perpetual Motion and Allegro especially are played a lot in it.
Way to go Ryanna! I loved your pretty yellow dress and your long hair...what a beautiful girl you are and what a great mommy you have to get you to play the violin!
I am dying to hear how your ultrasound went! Update soon. I think it was today right?!
Ryanna did great! I am amazed that she memorized the whole song. It always amazes me watching little people play instruments!
I love the list on the side of related videos. Almost related right?!
Ryanna!! Great job! I was very impressed by your tone. Each note had good bite and sound. Also, one tiny spot where you almost got off you kept going and got right back on! That is one of the hardest things to do. Keep working on your steady rhythm. Bravo!!
Wow! To be such a great violinist at such a young age! That is really great. I tried to play violin when I was eight years old and after a while, I decided that it was too hard and too much work. You have been doing it for a long time and you are very good at it! Keep up with it and one day you will thank your parents for letting you learn. Great job!
JJ wanted to say, "I love you, you did a very good job with the violin!"
