Thread Name: For children guitar overtakes violin
Subject: RE: For children guitar overtakes violin
this past Saturday we had our 6th annual fiddler's fair... cold & wet at the start, but once again we had two dozen kids from 100 miles away - the Buffalo Suzuki group - attend and have a great time. Three were playing the cello and they aged from 6 to 17 and have attended every year... so I got to see some of these kids since they were 6 or so.

I had to complement their parents and say that they far exceed the parents that drag their kids to sporting events... supportive of all the kids and none of the drama that seems to go with baseball and football clubs.

Since I'm entering my second childhood, I wish I could join myself... lol
