Saturday's PhotoHunt- theme # 187 is "Music", which is more for the ear than the eye. So what is visual about music and can be used for this PhotoHunt theme? I think musical instruments are beautiful objects, especially string instruments.
Here is our string family: a child's violin, a child's viola, a violin for an adult and a viola for an adult. The child's violin belongs to Elisabet. Here is Elisabet playing her violin.
Erik plays the viola and encourages Elisabet to play her violin.
This is Elisabet's and Erik's music teacher, Sonja Nichols, who uses the Suzuki-teaching-method.
Shinichi Suzuki, who developed this method, prefered to call it the "mother-tongue approach", because he taught young children to play the violin in a similar way that all children learn to speak their native language: with lots of love, encouragement and repetition.
Happy Weekend!

Very nice. Musical families are awesome!
What beautiful instruments! I think it is wonderful that Elisabet and Erik play the instruments. Music is important!
She looks so cute with her violin. I hope it is the path to a life loving music. Happy weekend
OMG - go read the comment I just left for you in Creative Cafe about the instruments I play and want to learn. I was giggling when I came here to your blog post and saw the violins and the piano! Maybe Elisabet can teach me to play the violin!!!
Beautiful! My son has always wanted to learn to play the violin.
Happy Photo Hunting! I hope you get a chance to visit my post today at New York Traveler.net. Happy trails!
How beautiful! Your children are so fortunate to be able to have the experience of making lovely music.
Beautiful! That's great that your children are involved in music. :)
That's awesome to have a musical family. I can barely play the radio, but I love to hear good music.
