We have nearly completed 4 months of Virtual Lessons and I just am SO proud of my students for making this transition from in person to virtual! Each one of them have made progress and adapted to this new way of learning and for that I couldn't be more proud.
On a personal note, the transition with teaching virtually now that I have moved has been so smooth. I have felt so loved and so supported as I have moved from Wisconsin to Utah and have continued to teach my Waunakee students from afar. We will continue to do this kind of virtual learning as long as it works for the student, but I have to say that I love that I can continue to teach these amazing students of mine! Being a small part of their life in their musical journey is a pleasure and an honor and I hope they look back on our time together with fond memories. My main objective is to teach music to each of my students, but another huge objective is to help the student grow as an individual and gain self confidence.
As we continue to lessons, please encourage your child to establish a practice time daily that works with their schedule. For some, it is before school, and for others it is after school or dinner. Whatever the practice time is, make it consistent. Daily practice is the number one way to get better at your instrument. I would also encourage your student to listen to the suzuki cd or stream the suzuki songs. Listening to their pieces greatly increases the ability to memorize and to listen for in tune notes.
I have a huge smile on my face each time I call up each student for their lesson and I am SO grateful that I can continue to teach during this crazy time. Let me know if you have any concerns!
