Each Fall the Arizona Suzuki Association holds a fall workshop. Last year Willem had just started so we didn't attend but this year he was ready for it. It was held 5 minutes from our house which was a big plus! The them this year was Fiddling and since he'd just been part of a Fiddle concert, he was familiar with the song they were going to play.
He and his friend Sookie were the only two participants from our studio this year and they had a lot of fun going to the various classes together. Willem said his favorite was the Country Line Dancing Class. We learned the Cotton Eyed Joe and the Electric Slide. I was sure the baby was going to be born that evening with all the jumping and dancing around we did. Willem loved running around the room to the music as much as he loved learning the dance moves. A great way to break up the day!

They started the morning in a repertoire class going through the Suzuki music, then later in the day had a fiddling class to go through Boil the Cabbage Down as a group and then had a Master Class where they got a private 15 miinute lesson. We learned that Willem has outgrown his violin and is ready for the next size up and gained some other valuable tips from the teacher to help him improve his tone. They ended the day with a concert. We were both pretty worn out, but Willem really enjoyed performing with the other kids.
