Parent Participation

The student's success will highly depend on his/her support at home. The more a parent or guardian can help or assist, the more likely the student will be motivated to practice and have fun learning. The violin, as opposed to learning fiddle, is much more precise, meaning proper form is of the most importance in the beginning. As the teacher, I will be more concerned about proper form than I will tone or correct notes. A beautiful tone will follow correct form. So, please make sure your child is keeping the form correct everytime they play at home!

So, what is considered correct form? Well, you will only learn if you can sit in on the lessons. If you cannot, then we should have your child give you a review in front of me before you leave each week. I have taught plenty of adults as well, and it is never too late to learn something new! If you desire to learn as well, then talk to me about one, two, a few, or more private lessons of your own!
