learn to play in a GROUP LESSON
Sometimes referred to as “Beginning Strings,” group lessons can be an excellent way to learn
Pros
- 8 year olds or “older”
- Learn without the FOCUS being on every movement the student makes; less pressure
- Students learn with / or make new friends
- Pace is somewhat slower, to accommodate general group distractions
- Students generally keep up with the group in general, so less time can be devoted
- Classes are more cost effective
- Carpooling possibilities
- Stronger students (those with more musical aptitude) rise to the TOP very quickly
Cons:
- Obviously, not as individualized
- Students under 8 don’t work as the same pace as older students
- Stronger students (with better attention skills, or general musical aptitude) can become more easily bored
- We all wait for the student who didn’t practice to catch up, which can be off putting to any student who struggles with fine motor skills
- Some students become upset by the comparisons THEY make about themselves and others in class
