The music is growing up

And so are my granddaughters! 

All you have to do is look at them…sometimes from one week to the next.

The music growth is more subtle, but at concert time it is on full display. That’s when all age groups are right there on the stage and the music ranges from the simple, painstakingly played one-minute variations on “Twinkle” to some very long, complicated pieces with fancy names performed with lots of flair and flourish.

Margeaux and Simone don’t play “Twinkle” variations much anymore, except maybe for fun or as a warm up exercise.  They are way beyond that, in ways that are beyond my understanding.

I got caught up on their musical accomplishments at recent concerts at the Hartt School of Music.

Here’s Margeaux on violin…

And Simone on cello…

And, for contrast, a 2017 photo of Margeaux and a 2019 shot of Simone…

    There is a Yiddish word that is very appropriate to what you are expressing, with great justification. Nachas. The CH is guttteral. Nothing better than Nachas from our children, to feel proud of them.  Mazel tov.  Leslie
