Maestro

New journey begun...

Eli picked up the violin tonight and I gave him his first lesson on the basics (which is already more than I know).

For now we're just practicing how to hold the instrument and how to bow a long steady note on an open string. We'll get the left hand involved on the fretboard further down the track.

I was caught by surprise when I discovered he has fairly natural and fluid movement. He looks to be the makings of a natural violinist! Check the pic (click for a larger view).
