the viola
Dad had us play band instruments (I think he didn’t want to listen to the squeaky tones of young string players). So stringed instruments are a complete mystery to me.
Jack had his first viola lesson today. He did very well for never having had a lesson before and lapped up the praise the teacher gave him. He was very natural with her, singing along as she played through his orchestra music. It was a joyful 45 minutes for me, anyway, to listen to the less and less squeaky tones of my very own young string player.
