Violin Graduation



Avery was able to participate in the Nevada School of the Arts Spring Suzuki Awards concerts last weekend. They have been working hard all year in their group classes, and were finally able to perform together. It was a fun evening, and we especially liked hearing the older groups perform to get an idea of what it will be like if she continues to play at NSA. They were so good, and fun to watch perform.

She received a trophy for graduating to the next book, but she actually hasn't done her official book review yet. She is ready, but her teacher needs to schedule time with other teachers at the studio to officially pass off the book. Avery will play her favorite song in the book, pick a random song out of a hat, and perform the last piece in the book to officially get her trophy. She amazes me that she can remember all of the pieces so well, and performs in front of others with such ease.

Aliza had to sneek into the picture too. It was a fun afternoon watching her perform. Way to go Avery!
