Tony McKoy, a shy and unassuming second-grader, delighted in learning the proper technique, his chin pressed against the rest as he slid his fingers along the neck of the violin. His more vocal classmate, Ben Odle, appeared to catch on quickly in playing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
The pair of Luella Elementary School students were participants in an interactive showcase, featuring violin students from the ABC Montessori School in Locust Grove. The violin showcase was a part of Luella's sixth annual school-wide fine arts festival held Friday, known as "Arts Alive! 2010."
