As a child I went to a kindergarden under the patronage of famious in former Soviet Union Nikinin spouses.
The Nikitin family had eight children, own and adopted ones, and parents were the authors of several bestsellers about upbringing of childrens.
So, and my kindergarden was a playground for their experiments on children )
Among other things we have learned to play violine.
I've started with enthusiasm which quickly evaporated after our teacher honestly explained our prospects.
In the next six month we shouldn't expect to be able to actually play something.
If meanwhile we could just learn how to properly hold the violine and the bow that alone would be good enough.
Well, half of the year seem to be a lot of time when you are just five years old )
I wasn't motivated enough. And probably wasn't talented enough as well )
However I spent this New Year celebration in the company of my musicians friends.
I've met there my namesake ( and probably my alter ago ) whome I want to introduce now.
Please (despite the horrible video quality) enjoy the violine
