My dad always told me that a girl who plays the violin is prettier than one who doesn't.
I think it was his way of convincing me to practice (and make the lessons worth his money) all those years.
It worked.
I believed him.
I practiced, a lot.
I've always loved how a full symphony, dressed in concert black looks.
classy.
formal.
prettier than the general public
just like my dad said.
I'm excited to be in my concert black again this weekend. I haven't performed with a formal symphony since my days at Ricks College (which was a long time ago. . . like in the 90's long ago). I am sure the concert black attire I have to pick from now is much classier and pretty than what I had back then.
That said, if the only person who thinks I am pretty with a violin in my hands, wearing my concert black is my dad then maybe all that money they paid for years and years will be worth it.
Come listen and decide for yourself if a girl with a violin is in fact, prettier than one without.

I guess I will never be pretty since I don't play the violin. :) We are excited to come!! Not sure if we are coming tomorrow or Saturday...but I know you'll do great! and you'll look super pretty too.
Growing up, I had a friend who played violin. She started when she was like 4 or something and was really, really good. I took lessons with the school in 4th or 5th grade and was frustrated that I wasn't instantly as good as she was and so I quit. Which is a shame, because violin is one of my two favorite instruments (piano being the other). Good for you for sticking with it and putting in the work. I'll bet it is really wonderful to play with a symphony. I know I enjoy it from the audience! Thanks for the invite! I'll try to make it, but it is going to be a busy weekend. And I'm sure you'll be the most beautiful girl in the orchestra!

I wish I could come see you and hear you play. I know it will be awesome though and can't wait to hear (insert read) all about it!
