Hi all,
My DD (age 8) has been learning violin for about 3 yrs now. She has just started preparation for Grade1 - plans to take it in March. Is this progress reasonable? She is a bright child who learns quickly and is very interested in Violin. I think her teacher is very slow / doesn't push her to ability. That could just me my wrong judgement - but that's what I "feel" it is. I found another teacher who my DD liked. In the meanwhile, I found a programme 25 miles away from me. They do a full 3 hour Saturday class - just like Trinity's string time.
DD doesn't plan to study music at Uni level - however she likes and enjoys it. Shall we take up the Saturday programme (25 miles away one) or go with the new teacher locally ? Our plan is to audition for junior departments in about 5-6 years time.
Anyone here whose DC went to Trinity String time - how did it help your DC? Are junior departments more suitable for DCs who plan to take up a career in music? Does it get too much for someone who just enjoys playing violin?
