Learning takes time, patience, & persistence. Whether it is learning to play a 2 minute song on the violin or algebra or engineering.

It has been wonderful watching them learn how to play beautiful music. It has been amazing watching them learn how to learn.

When I hear the complaint "It's too hard, I can't do it" I point to their experience with Twinkle Twinkle. How this song took months of practicing every day (5-10 minutes) to be able to play it through completely. However, it took years to be able to play it through beautifully.

This learning process becomes easier for each song as 90~% of each new song builds on previous material. This experience gives them a concrete examples of why practicing (repetition) helps them learn & how over time they can improve if they put the work in

The first song they have to learn is Twinkle Twinkle but this takes anywhere from 4-10 months to learn. One has to learn to stand correctly, hold the violin on the left shoulder, learn how to grip the bow, where to place the fingers, etc.

It is a long but rewarding process

My kids started Suzuki violin in 2019 & 2020. It is hard to overstate how wonderful this experience has been for them. They were both 5 years old when they started & while they have learned a lot about music, they have learned even more about consistency, practice, & persistence.

Luca making flowers and jumping after learning at lessons. We use a lot of games to encourage repetition. It’s through repetition that we develop habit and skill. Hard work not always fun, but we make it fun! #westminstermd #carrollcountymd #suzukiviolin #violinlessons

We use games to encourage repetition. “Skill is knowledge plus 10,000 times!” -Dr. Suzuki. For each repetition, open a nesting doll. How many are there? How small does it go!?! #westminstermd #suzukiviolin
