It all depend on how you raise them, Dr. Suzuki said. If all children can speak their mother tongue they should be able to play violin as well.
I'm totally convinced that he was right about this, children's talent is nutured by love. But no three or four year old would want to study a musical instrument unless parents determine to lead them through. Be kind to your child ?uring practice, set out a daily routine. Habits trumps reluctance. There's nothing wrong that you help the child to make good decisions while they cannot. I've determined to stick around on this path, for as long as possible, maybe a decade or longer. Until they have gained their musicality to full freedom.
