Session Player

Zara has played in the last two sessions we attended. The first time (standing, in the skirt playing her whistle) she only played on one set of polkas (Britches Full of Stitches/Peg Ryan's). This was a pretty big deal though, getting up and playing with everyone. A month later she brought both her whistle *and* her fiddle, and sat right up in the middle of the circle with the rest of the session players for the entire hour we were there. She played one instrument or another on at least one tune in most of the sets, and was trying to pick up some tunes she didn't know by watching others play. So, she;s gone from brave and fantastic to REALLY brave and REALLY fantastic. What parent wouldn't kvell? The fiddle player opposite her in both shots is Brock, who leads the session class (and these monthly sessions) and will be taking over teaching her and the other BRIMS kiddos fiddle in the Fall. Z's very excited, and hopes to be playing at session as much as she can in the coming months!
