So our regular violin teacher, Miss S, has about 30 or more students who participated in the Federation competition this past Saturday.
One of them is her nine year old grandson.
So almost all of her students achieved "Superior" ratings....... all of them, except....
her grandson.
In this audition, it is understood that students are not permitted to speak to the judge; they may only speak if the judge asks them any questions.
So Miss S' grandson walks into the judging room to perform, except first he stops and says to the judge: "I just want you to know that I really don't like classical music!"
Oops!
Miss S. couldn't keep a straight face as she told this story to us. We thought it was hilarious. You'd have to know her grandson, I guess.

i'm glad mrs. s found the humor in the situation!
my oldest did suzuki violin for a year when he was 5. he stole the show at the recital when, as the last performer, he finished his piece and then piped up, "time to eat!" i guess he was really looking forward to the refreshments!
I think it's hilarious, too! Little kids are so blatantly honest - they don't hold back.
Thank you! It has been very very hard. Jonathan May was one of a kind. He gave so much to everyone. Today was the first class with out him.(which was a special 2 hr for the advance students that he planned). I am sorry you never meant Jonathan he just was exceptional man. The tears and emptiness is still very real.
