Mama Bautista

Violin is not her first choice. That saddens me much. We passed by our local guitar shop and inquired about guitar lessons – they don’t start till age 6. AND, she does not want an ukelele. So, we met up with a student violin teacher, came home, and decided I was better fit to teach [...]
