More things I love about being a Suzuki teacher!
Because we work on the fundamental skills of playing the violin before we add in music reading, pupils develop the ability to play with a ringing tone and accurate tuning right from the start. Once we add in reading music, we can place focus on that one skill without juggling the technical skills too. This makes for a more confident and motivated pupil when exploring new pieces!
Playing duets is one of our favourite things to do, and this pupil has developed a love for double-stopping (playing 2 notes at once) 🎻🎶🎻
If you'd like to start this motivating musical journey with your child, contact Ruth for information about lessons. Spaces for new pupils aged 4- 7 years, located in Cotgrave.

I love watching my pupils flourish, both musically and as people. As we learn all that we play by listening to it first, many times, pupils come to work on pieces knowing exactly what it should sound like. Without the added hurdle of note-reading, children learn pieces quickly, accurately and with a beautiful sound. This gives such confidence and motivates them further!
It's such a pleasure to listen to them play!

I'm so lucky to be able to watch my pupils grow in confidence, experimenting with their instruments to find the sounds they hear.

We've been focusing on creating violin-goblin caves this term when playing in higher registers! It's always lovely to have the opportunity to use our imaginations when learning a new skill 🌟

Some beautiful rhythm cards, made by one of my newest Suzuki pupil's and her mum. It's lovely to see the parent-child teams enjoy all parts of the process.
