My twin boys (5-years-old) in Suzuki violin program for two semesters...
- You do not need to have a real violin in the first several months...
- It's boring for me (parents)... need to be there in classroom for hours ... Teacher also writes down some homework in a notebook for that week... I always forget to help kids on their homework...now I start forgeting to bring that notebook ... So far, my boys still like it and want to continue :-(.. sometimes, they practice by themselves...
wait and see how long it will last...
