The Baritone Horn

Palomi was obsessed with the trumpet for the first few years of her life. Recently, her focus switched to the tuba. I wasn't sure she was ready. Most people say kids should be around ten or so before starting a wind instrument. I emailed the principal tubist for the San Francisco Symphony, who sent back a very thoughtful and encouraging email. I think he was right!

Palomi's goal is to play a song on her birthday.

The measuring tape is a big hit. Palomi loves to be measured. Owen later measured the width of a door: "Fifty pounds."
