It's so lovely! Can I ask what style she plans to play. Lots of violin/fiddle culture, where I live and in my heritage.

she’s played mariachi for three years now, and is starting classical violin this summer.

That's a beautiful violin.

Beautiful! Wonderful! ☀️

even if we aren’t ever going to be rich, it’s such a gift to get to raise a kid who doesn’t know real financial struggle

And you'll have the pleasure of listening to her play 🎶!

This is so real. I struggle with it sometimes. And I'm so grateful for it at the same time. Just dropped my kid off at dance and there is never been a time where we questioned whether or not we could keep her in that.

ours dances too, and I remember when we first went to buy her outfits, the feeling that she wasn’t going to be the kid in class with the wrong clothes or shoes, feeling like she didn’t belong

it's so huge when you come from that, absolutely.

That is really amazing. The gift of a lifetime of beautiful music is such a loving thing to do for your kid

she put in three years on a real beat up rental, she deserves it!

valymonahan.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes! Glad you could do this, for her. My zine/comics kiddo is also a musician (bass clarinet in school band, now keyboard). Look forward to see/hear what she does.
