How we got started
One of the most common questions we are asked is "How did you all get started playing musical instruments?" Well, it was a very gradual thing.
Toby and Hailey always had a strange attraction to any kind of instrument. They made their debut at a children's museum when they were 4 and 2 years old.

At Kindermusik, Hailey was given the choice to play one of 15 different instruments--woodwind, strings, percussion--but she picked up a violin without a second thought.
What could possibly happen if you let a 5-year-old play a violin (that she knew nothing about) for a Kindermusik orchestra?
Little by little, we added instruments.
And then, somewhere along the way, we started singing together...
...only then, it was a kitchen table operation--complete with kitchen utensils.
We've upgraded since those days.
Our instruments fit in a closet--or they used to, at least.
Now, we use a whole wall
So there you have it!
That's the story on how we got started.
