How Important Is Learning To Play The Violin?
I was making a routine supplies stop yesterday at a local music store, & ofcourse as always, I have to make my way over to the Violins hanging on the wall, tune one up & grab a bow & start playing. Needless to say, as usual someone comes over & comments on my playing or if it's a child, they ask-"How often do you practice?" 1-2 hours a day even teaching fulltime. For the beginner students/with their parent(s) daily encouragement; I only ask 15 minutes a day. For the adult-beginner students- at least a good-solid 30 minutes a day. Intermediate-serious students, at least 45 minutes a day. We all know, when 'we' really want something, we tend to fall head over feet to get that peticular place or reach that 'all of a sudden' goal.
So, I'll ask all of you again-"How important is learning to play the Violin to you!?"
Have a great day & Remember-"Practice,practice,practice!!"
