Multiply this by five and you have a tired, happy, and motivated family. 

8:00 Holly had orchestra.  I sat with her since it was her first time in orchestra. 

9:00 Sarah's A Class (private lesson/master class).  Hannah had technique elsewhere with Dad and Abby.   Holly came along and read books during Sarah's lesson. 

10:00 Hannah's A Class.  Holly had technique at this time and was monitored by Dad and Abby.  Sarah had technique on her own around the corner from Hannah's room. 

11:00 Lunch (with many family friends) at the Wooden Chair. 

We try to go to a park after lunch if it isn't too hot.  This year we ended up doing most of our practicing between 12:00 and 2:00.  Sarah went first as she had C (repertoire) class at 1:00. 

Hannah practiced at 1:00 right before we took this picture. 

Holly LOVES Institute time.  I received countless notes during other classes asking me if she could practice her orchestra music and learn the right bowing for the (many!) pieces she figured out in class.  The lucky girl was placed in a group with many children who play Humoresque and Gavotte in g minor.  It didn't take her many tries to figure those pieces out as well. 

At 2:00 Holly had her C (repertoire) class and Hannah had hers elsewhere.  Sarah had orchestra at that time as well. 

Holly had her A class at the very end of the day.  3:00 was a bit of a stretch for her at age six, but she did well.  Her teacher enjoyed her a bit too much and didn't really do anything with her playing.  Ah well...

Loading up and ready for ice cream at the end of the day.
