Well, it's not as if the skills are not learnt along the way. My ds started late at 8 years old though. Started with Suzuki but switched to another teacher when he was in book 3 or 4 after learning about 2 years. He did his Grade 4 exam that year then and his gr 8 exam 3.5years after that. -

Yes, i sat in, but i didn't really do much. It was 1-to-1 and just using suzuki books and they had group lessons every 2mths or so. I didn't have to learn to play the violin, and no, I didn't really help him except to scream out \"out of tune!\" when I hear him practice. After a while, it just got way beyond me.
