If you would like to progress faster in your Suzuki books, listen, listen, listen to your CD's of the music in the book you are working on. You should listen twice as much as you practice. You should be practicing from 30 to 60 minutes a day. The more you practice, the faster you progress.
Listening is the magic ingredient that helps us improve our tone, our bowing, our rhythm, our notes, our intonation. It gives us confidence about what we are playing. It gives us a solid foundation. "In music, our confidence comes from listening to music, repeatedly, to the point of internalization. Listening until we can remember is not enough. We must listen until we can't forget!"
We must listen to a good example, our CD's. Another important aspect of listening is listening to our parents and teachers. Last but not least, listen to yourself.
Let's try listening this month and see how much we can accomplish!
