poshies,
S had been learning suzuki violin for the last 10 months liao. There are ups and downs. There are periods of time where he was very upbeat about it and keep wanting to practise. But also period of times where he simply refuse to practise and made no progress at all. There was even once he went into the class and refuse to play at all cos he was in a tantrum... and the 2 of us ended up sitting there looking at everyone else play.
The requirement is to practise as often as possible every day. So need a lot of discipline on both him and me. But the most important thing is... make sure gerald himself is agreeable to learn and willing to take up the responsibility before signing up. Now, whenever he refuses to play, I will remind him that it is him who wanna learn in the first place and I will not let him give up halfway. Its not the learning instrument that is important but the perseverance and discipline that is cultivated.
Oh ya, S can play his twinkle twinkle little star by himself. He is trying other songs now. Violin is not an easy instrument to play... I am still working on his posture... must make sure its very good else next time very difficult to correct.
btw, mandeville is in united square.
