This was an article that for some reason, didn't get published, so here it is!
Yesterday and last Friday, I went to my first Suzuki workshop. There were so many people there! Ranging from all ages, and all Suzuki books 1-5 and advanced peices too like Sicillienne.
However, believe it or not, the little kids and everyone else are ahead of me! Why? Because I started with orchestra music in eighth grade! I didn't even know most of the suzuki peices by memory!
So after the concert, I became inspired to completely learn & memorize all Suzuki peices from books 1 and 2. By doing this I infered:
-I would become a better violinist because it would help build my memorization skills
-By next year, I would completely know most of the peices by heart.
My practicing ideas:
Starting from Suzuki volume 1, every week I would have a suzuki violin song every week that I will have to learn and memorize. For example, the song of the week would be Lightly Row or May song. By the time the week has finished, I would completely know the song by heart.
