Teaching Services
Grooms and brides often want to spring surprises on their other halves during the big do itself. Usually they end up singing or playing an instrument while Striiiings accompanies them.
For the first time, however, Striiiings played an active role in a groom's loving rendition of Kanon in D on the violin during his wedding dinner at Raffles The Plaza: We had taught him to play.
It took just two lessons of less than 30 minutes each, spread over less than a month, and the groom was ready for the stage. Striiiings had also loaned him the violin as he did not own one himself.
On the night itself, the groom, initially nervous, played confidently during his special item and the audience (well aware that their friend / relative is not a musician!) greeted him with rounds of rapturous applause. His wife was very touched indeed and she could not believe that her husband had actually accomplished what she thought was an impossible feat.
In fact, the groom was so thrilled with his performance and playing with the Striiiings group he wanted to do it again, but could not due to time constraints.
Indeed, not all grooms or brides sound good when they attempt something so radical during their weddings. But what we have realized is that it doesn't matter. It's the effort and love put in that moves the hearts of all those present.
