And That’s….the Truth

A couple of weeks ago my daughter’s violin teacher had a discussion with them all about what instrument they would like to play next year.  They had the choice between the violin, the chello or the base.  I managed to talk my daughter out of playing the chello and the base as I honestly think that these two instruments are way to big for her to play (she’s quite tiny).  She then indicated that she would like to learn how to play the violina in grade 6.  Stupid me thought the violina was a smaller instrument than the violin so I agreed.

Well this weekend I discovered that this instrument is actually quite big as well.  But I haven’t said too much to her about it as I have another year to worry about this.  If she grows (a lot) then I will let her play this instrument.  But if she stays tiny then I guess her and I will be having another conversation about this particular instrument.
