"Started violin for my 9 year old. 8 months and we are looking at completing Suzuki Book 1. He focuses on musicality, ear and not just the rote which is very good. He is very patient and guides my kid on techniques based on how he is playing. He modifies difficulty to suit what my kid can do i.e. we started doing dyads and ornaments and my kid picked it up quickly. Overall this has been a great experience and we can hear the difference in his playing.
