Suzuki Violin - Discussion

[OCEAN]

Hi Chamonix


I realised that after three over months of teaching with notes reading, some other children became heavily relied on the book, which means that they now unable to play songs by memory. And they absolutely have no idea when to play notes with the sharp key or natural key. The teacher has now moving in a faster pace. We now have 2 more songs to go to complete the book 1.

Really? I find that no matter what, my boys will memorise after practising for awhile.

Hi Ocean,


I can only speculate that it's the result of a lack of practice. Besides diligent practices, the kids must also be exposed constantly to the pieces they are learning. That will help them greatly in mastering the pieces.

2 pieces more to go? That's really fast! I'm sure your son is looking forward to performing on stage next year. Encourage your son to keep up the good work. He's doing fabulous! :celebrate:

For parents with kids learning Suzuki book 1, these lyrics are fun to play along with.

Does anyone know where I can find suzuki related materials (e.g. books, games, practice tips) in Singapore? Thanks in advance.

Hi chamonix, thanks for the great website! Just to share that the Pre Twinkle \"Up Like A Rocket\" is for ensuring the bow hold is steady, ie. hold the bow upright and move the arm up, down, left & right while chanting the rhyme, ensuring the bow doesn't tilt sideways.
