I feel like there has been a thread where people can ask for suggestions before, but I can't find it. I apologize if I'm being redundant. I like hearing ideas.
I need suggestions for a violin recital outfit for a 7yo. (She will be playing Allegro, from Suzuki Book 1, which I mention in case that information might be somehow relevant to anyone's creative process).
Requirements:
Pockets
No detailing around the neck/shoulder that might interfere with the relationship between her chin, the violin, and her shoulder. We've tried playing the violin in hoodies and with collars - major disaster. (I don't think it's actually impossible for other children, but it is for mine.)
Recitals at our music school are "formal Sunday best" occasions. One can err on the side of being more formal, but you can't show up devil-may-care grungy until you're a teenage virtuoso and can pull off the "my music speaks for itself" thing. So not in Suzuki Book 1.
I have three weeks.
What would you do?
