I am so proud of my son Ephraim!!  He gave his very first violin performance tonight at a high school.  He wasn’t nervous at all.  As a matter of fact, he loves being on stage and being the center of attention. 😀

Ephraim was the first soloist of the night; probably because he was the youngest performing.  He walked right up on stage, leaned over into the microphone and said, “My name is Ephraim.  I am 5 years old and I’m going to play ‘Seminole Chant’.”  He started playing immediately without giving his auntie time to accompany him on the piano.  Everything happened so fast I didn’t get any pictures of the actual performance. 😐 

The audience laughed and clapped as he bowed two times (I didn’t teach him that) and galloped off the stage.

I did manage to get a picture before the performance though.

As we were driving home Ephraim said, “Thank you mom for teaching me how to play the violin.”  Actually, I don’t teach him, his auntie does.  But I do make him practice and I got a violin to learn with him.  We have fun when we get to play together.
