"Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable." Leonard Bernstein
Lizzy
Lizzy started taking violin lessons at 8 years old, and although she currently doesn't take lessons anymore, she still enjoys playing the violin. She also plays the piano, but has never had formal piano lessons.
In January 2008 she started taking drawing classes at the local school of arts. Currently, she takes illustration classes once a week. She likes to draw in a variety of styles, both digitally and on paper. Of course, Lizzy takes a sketch book and pencils with her wherever she goes.
Writing seems to be an inheritable disease, and Lizzy certainly inherited the incurable Writer's Obsession from her Mum. Her sketch book doubles as a note book, so she won't have to carry both a sketch book and a note book along with her.
Last but not least, Lizzy is also taking drama classes at the local school of arts. She has big dreams of becoming a Hollywood star.
Fran
Violin lessons and piano lessons were wasted on Fran, but lately she's been fooling around on the keyboard quite a bit, and that usually doesn't sound bad at all.
Fran also enjoys drawing and photography, and even though she's still very young, she's already becoming quite proficient at picture editing.
