Now i have added another responsibility to myself for making sure andrea's music lesson is a successful one. Initially I've thought of just trying out the free lesson that hubby's supplier offered to him, i did not know it's suzuki method and don't even know andrea loves it that much! Before going to class, we talk to her about violin and hubby showed her some violin video from youtube. After class, i said: "keep the violin, you need to return it." Andrea reply: "no mummy, i want to keep it, i like it very much!"Oh.. since it's suzuki method and the class seems lively, we agree to let andrea enroll.
Andrea does not seems to be VERY patient, she just want to use the bow to play - regardless holding it correctly or not. At class, she seems observant and seems very interested. She is able to follow instruction. Now i need to work on her patient, learn everything in a proper way then only play the violin using the bow.
Teacher taught:
1. Exercise - bouncing both knees, both hands swing cris-cross, wrist
2. How to take a bow
3. Rest Position and Play Position
4. How to hold the violin and Bow
5. Sing the tune with note name and rhythm practice (hit the floor and lap)
This is the 3rd class for all other children, hence i think it's too overwhelming for andrea. Too much new things for her to absorb for her 1st lesson. I need to practice it with her at home
