Starting 'em young.

Matthew has a serious obsession with the violin. He refers to it as his "shoo-shoo".

When I first started taking lessons back when I was five, my teacher made me this little tissue box violin to  practice with.

Somehow it has survived all these years later and he just loves it!

And then sometimes when he's really lucky he'll talk someone in to helping him with the real deal and we'll pull out our little violin for him to "play".
