[quote=Anonymous]My DD started Suzuki violin just before she turned 4 and, a year later, is part way into Book 1. Progress is slower when they’re young (and her teacher is particularly deliberate about technique before moving kids past the twinkle variations), but she’s absolutely learning “real” skills. She can play a few songs, “sound out” variations of tunes (basically how Suzuki is taught) and do basic note reading... all the basic skills needed to progress in violin (or other instrument) playing. She can also swim at least a pool length and tread water for a minute (passed our club’s swim test) after about 1 year of lessons (probably became somewhat competent after about 6 months) + float front and back, glide, do various kicks, do the freestyle arms, etc. Again, not an Olympian in the making or anything, but clearly learning the actual foundational swimming skills + good from a safety perspective.[/quote]
