Suzuki Parents Workshop:
Making Practice Easier
Sunday Kol BeRamah March 11 12-2 pm
Refreshments served- and we will have childcare available!
Bring your copy of Ed Sprunger’s ‘Helping Parents Practice!’
We’re going to talk about Chapters 9 – 16.
9: Look for Horses, not Zebras
“Violin is too hard. It’s definitely a problem with my son’s treble audio perception range. He’s
sensitive. The E string makes him flinch. We had better have him switch to trombone.”
10: Keep the Focus on Making Things Easier
“But violin is supposed to be hard. I’ve always been told it was hard”
11: Attending Lessons Really Matters
“Oh, pffft, my 12-year old knows what she’s doing, gimme a break.”
12: Take Useful, Accurate, Reliable Notes
“I don’t need to record the teacher playing this 2-measure practice point on my phone. I’ll remember every detail.”
13: Participate in a Group Class
“How am I doing with this?”
14: Listen to Recordings
“I rely on my son to play the Suzuki MP4’s on her iPOD, with his earphones before he goes to bed. He does it every day, so I mark it in the practice record.”
15: You Can’t Learn as You Go, If You Don’t Take the Trip
16: Review Repertoire to Help the Playing Get Easier
“My daughter hates reviewing! She wants to get better! She is bored to death with review and plays sloppily!”
