Music

We'd like to do more with music, but we've got a good start this fall:

• Ivy is really enjoying violin lessons on Wednesdays, and is even liking her practicing. I'm learning with her, which has been fun (and humbling). We try to practice together three times a week.
  
• We take new music out of the library regularly, exposing the girls to different kinds of music and talking about it. Ella has shown a love of jazz (especially her namesake, Ella Fitzgerald). I've also made mixed CDs for the girls to listen on their own.
  
• Ella's grandma has agreed to do some introductory piano with Ella, which we'll likely pursue once getting to Kelowna is easier again.
