My father-in-law is a violinist. He shares his music with large audiences, on the radio, in church, with pupils and friends, in small groups and big ones. But I love it the most when he practises in his music room, surrounded by his instruments, music and paraphernalia. Hearing him playing without any accompaniment, not performing or practising, just messing around for the fun of it (he likes to play "Day Tripper" and other Beatles songs when he thinks no-one is listening), makes me smile. And even though he's a professor he still insists on casually calling his violin a "fiddle". Which is what makes me love it even more!
It's lovely to see mthoodmama (Barbara)'s daughter also share her love of singing. Are there other people in the room listening, or singing along? As long as she enjoys making music, that's the important thing.

Day Tripper played on the violin! - I love it. Lovely photos.
Two beautiful moments you and Barbara have captured here Kirstin. Just a lovely post, I can hear the music from here :)
I love seeing an older person and a younger person both enjoying music! Thank you for choosing my picture, Kirstin! xo, Barbara
Music is such a gift and joy to many. Love the original composition in your capture, Kirstin!

What a gorgeous photo, Kirstin -- not just the content, but the colors and that great reflection. I would love to hear your father-in-law play.
