The Entertainer for four violins and two violas

During the winter we try to do something as a family most evenings. Tuesday evening is normally game night, Thursday evening is Bible Study with a few others, and Friday evening is music night.  Monday evening Abigail is teaching Violin at her studio in Effingham and Wednesday evening all of the girls have practice with the Eastern Illinois University Orchestra.
This last Friday the girls found an arrangement of Scott Joplin's The Entertainer for a string quartet.  They experimented with it a little during the day Friday and treated Tamara and I to a little concert Friday evening. The boys tried to play along, but the music was a little too advanced for them.  So most of the day Saturday the girls worked together to arrange parts for the boys and to smooth out some of the rough places in the original arrangement.  Saturday evening they gave us another little concert.
It isn't perfect yet, but they are really enjoying playing it.  I love the way they have learned to work together and appreciate the wonderful music teachers they have had.  I love our home full of music!
