All About Violin Classes and Teachers

One of violinists I know say that if you are talented in violin, you can easily clear grade 5 from beginner within one year. I guess can see why he said that.
My son's teacher entered him for g4 violin exam shortly after starting to teach him in Feb too last time (5yrs ago already - haha). I was quite shocked. But then again, my son was not a new to the violin, having learnt 1yr then. Only that he just started taking lessons with this teacher. -

It may actually not be as easy as it seems lah. Grade 1 & 2 are all played in 1st position. I'm not sure - but I think Grade 3 also 1st position, or maybe some easy position change only. Definitely by Grade 4 have to change Left Hand positions. Grade 5 need to add in vibrato. It may not be that easy to acquire a natural vibrato within a few months to handle the grade 5 pieces.

That being said, it depends on how the teacher structures the lessons in guiding the student to progress well. I've seen the difference between my son's 1st violin teacher who taught him for over a year and his 2nd teacher who continued teaching him for past 5 yrs until now. -
Just something to keep in mind: Here in MN, it seems like a few violin teachers (at least the ones I’ve met) charge upfront for a block of 10 lessons or so. It made it easier than having to get paid each session. I think I paid $200 for a block of 10 30-minute lessons a few years ago, but the teacher was pretty inexperienced.

a parent told me she paid $180 per 30mins for her DD's violin lesson...... i was :yikes:
perhaps if the kids are talented, then it warrant a good teacher and the $... -
Every kid warrants a good teacher.
You won’t know if your kid is talented unless he has been taught well. In other words, if your kid is actually talented but you sent him to a so-so teacher because you thought he was not talented, he will remain just so-so and you will always think him not talented. A good teacher can maximise the potential of a child. However, a good teacher need not be exorbitant.I am sure there are good teachers out there whose fees are less than $180 for 30 min. -
