Violin Lessons?

Well one of my boys told me he wants to play the violin! So some time this week we will go down and rent one. I called around to a few music stores and they are rent to own. The total cost is about $650.00, you pay about $26.00 a month. They say people never end up owning, they upgrade to a bigger one and keep paying or the kid will quit and you can just give the instrument back. I guess that's how the whole thing works. To me it seems like leasing a car, you just pay and pay and never own anything. ( We own our used cars).
Well I am really excited about the whole idea. I can't wait to hear the sweet music in the house! The squeaky sound of the bow going across the strings, I can hear it now! I will have to learn how to put video of him playing on my blog once he gets going. The school offers the lessons free so I hope he likes it. I will keep you posted as to how it all turns out!
Peace, Georgiann
