Fun violin group / lessons?

Recommended Posts

My youngest daughter is currently learning violin with a Suzuki teacher at school. She is able and has a good ear but she is finding that the rigidity of the Suzuki repetoire is turning her off playing. It doesn't help that her older sister plays too so she's been hearing the same songs for years. But the one thing I like about Suzuki is the group lesson - I think music makes more sense/fun when you play with others.


Are there any other options for learning violin individually but playing regularly within a group? The Goose Green set up on a Saturday sounds good but they don't do strings. Is there anything else around like this that keeps it fun for the kids? At this age I'm more interested in something that they enjoy than drilling them through grades etc.

    • The last person to have run The Paxton completely ruined it. From the moment I saw the large tacky looking plastic banner on the outside I knew what its fate would be.
    • A Jay appeared in our garden yesterday evening and is still there now. Quite large and healthy looking but seems (to my completely ignorant self) to be missing his/her tail feathers which is perhaps why they’re hanging about. I’ve left out some seeds and water but not sure what else can be done? Any keen ornithologists or wildlife carers nearby? 
    • Hen123, despite the stats, it still doesn't mean cyclists are safe to ignore the rules.  There's an old joke when a 95 year old granny with poor eyesight was asked if she had been involved in any accidents during her driving career, and she replies none but I've seen plenty in my rear view mirror  I have seen so many near misses (both as a bus user, driver and pedestrian) where a cyclist has done something unexpected or illegal and fear the day that its not a near miss.
    • I agree. I feel so lucky to have found this nursery. It’s very nurturing but I’ve also been amazed at the phonics etc they do - it’s far superior to what I’ve experienced at other nurseries in the area
