>I tell her if she practices violin for 30 days she can get something from the wish list.
Oh, so very smart. Need to do this with my 9 yr old. (Well, except that he doesn't play the violin so it's going to be something else, obviously. Or, I can really mess with him and say it needs to be the violin!)

Oh my! This is sooooo amusing, and SO real life with kids. You sound like a really great parent!

Karen,
You're great and I hope your little girl has the opportunity to play, but if not, maybe she can make someone very happy in the hospital or care center with a performance — on her new violin and accompanied by her beautiful doll:-)
Cheers, Drew

Thanks! We haven't bought the violin or the doll accessories yet. We're only on day 20. Ten more to go!
When I was in 5th grade the orch conductor at our school took a few of us, a string quartet's worth, to a senior citizen center where we played a short piece, called "Exalted Chorus" by Haydn. It must have been a simple arrangement, and I can't find it on YouTube or anywhere. I remember a few notes from the 2nd violin part that I played, but that's about it. It was really fun. She'd probably like to do something like that as well.
