Players from the Ann Arbor Symphony visited day care yesterday. They do a program called the instrument petting zoo and help kids try out different instruments.
Last year it was the cello that Otto liked. This year, he liked the violin.
"I played that violin so hard, it talked!" he told me last night with a big grin.
Evidently the violinist working with him here strongly recommended that he and his buddy start lessons, that they're naturals.
Well, YEAH. I already knew that!
More seriously - this made me a little teary, since Otto's never seen me play. I had to drop something when we moved here and had a baby, and orchestra ended up being that something.
New motivation to get back into it is a great thing.
