Each year in Boston, Symphony Hall hosts a petting zoo for local school children to give students a chance to actually touch and hold symphony instruments. On a Friday night before Father's Day, Saint Lucia School of Music created an opportunity for small people to hold big instruments. Some of the children were

a good bit tinier than their wooden counterparts, but it didn't make a bit of difference. Students were entranced by the vibrations of long strings and pretty woodwork. Parents cast sideways glances from the corners of the room while the little ones obliviously sawed, stroked, and smiled.Sometimes it's o.k. to be in two places at the same time. Especially when no one, including instruments, gets hurt!
