How long does it take to get through book 1? I know there are tales on the Internet of children flying through it in weeks, but families I met in real life all seem to take at least two year, many of them much longer. There is much technique to learn in the first book. I am surprised that a young child can build the strength and stamina needed to play the harder pieces after a few months.
There are videos of children playing on the pieces on YouTube, but the quality of their playing is variable. Dd teacher spends a lot of time perfecting technique. Her students playing is really beautiful and not in the least bit mechanical.
Dd is learning Minuette 2 at the moment. She has been learning for 15 months. She can't read music yet, but I am not too worried as she us only six years old. Dd loves her violin teacher and works hard in her lesson. She does 10 to 15 minutes of practice a day and she does do her listening.
