The Violin

Learning, Loving, and Playing

Violin Blog

The blog is where I post frustrations, happy moments, quick ideas, new violin information and anything else that floats my boat. Laugh and cry with me as I raise 5 kids with daily practice routines, limited t.v. and small living quarters.

Thank you!
aboutme

Hi I'm Steph, a mother of five crazy, smart, stubborn, talented, trouble making musicians...er I mean kids. Violin is my thing: I teach others to play, practice whenever I'm not folding laundry, squeeze in a couple of performances a year (my audience may or may not typically consist of stuffed animals and little people)  and love finding creative ways to get my own kids to practice. Before the cuties came a long, I received a degree in Elementary Ed with an emphasis in music because I think kids and music go together like peanut butter and jelly!

We love bringing you free violin information, but it costs us money and oodles of time. When you complete a purchase on Amazon using our product links, we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you! So, thank you for helping us  fulfill our mission of "Music in Every Home".
