Suzuki Violin - Discussion

ilovemusic:
My elder boy's teacher who teaches at home also packed back-to-back. We have to arrange the lesson times every single week. It is never fixed bc of his orchestra commitments.
Teachers in music schools are always packed. Imagine teaching back-to-back for a couple of hours. -
hi there,
my kid has just started on sm violin classes. we are wondering as to how do you motivate a 3yo to practise the violin exercise?
thanks and regards. -

Can you devise some kind of game?

.
Eg. I put each exercise/song on one of his toy vehicles and once he's done with that, he gets to race that car to a \"Prime\" station or something. Or put the exercises/songs on his train cars and when each is done, that train car can join up and finally a train with several cars made and he can play with that after practice? Or he can complete a puzzle - each puzzle piece is related to one exercise/song.... I'll just show you some pics and maybe you'll get the idea.

I don't have much problems with my 3yo practising, but more with him staying focussed during his 30min lessons.

Hello everyone, I thought I would like to add a note here for everyone.
I know of this piano/cello/violin teacher around Tanjong Katong area. He graduated from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, specializing in violin performance. From what I understand, it is the leading conservatoire in UK.
He has about 17 years of teaching experience. Very flexible and dynamic.
His ability is also quite amazing; has helped highly functioning autistic child to learn more about music (patient man), to guiding students to be exam-ready (for their Music Elective Program/O Lvls/A levels/SOTA/etc)
Teaching style is unconventional - combines about an hour of lesson with music documentaries, operas & composer movies. This is so that the child can develop his own interest (hopefully, also passion) for music.
I have attached a link to a news article about him, featured in the Business Times here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9PnZcq ... dit?pli=1#
PM me if you wish to have his contact! -

Though you hold some truth in saying that people may pass it on as an advertisement, my intention is to merely share information of a really good teacher. I didn't put teacher's contact or rates, and ask for a PM because I am not here to sell a service; nor do I have vested interests.
If one wants to engage a teacher with quality credentials, and has been featured in the media because of his accomplishments in both art and music, it is ultimately one's prerogative to do so.
I just want to share. Nothing wrong with that.
Having said that, thank you for your perspective on my forum activities. It is deeply appreciated. -
