Pushy parents

2 April, 2005
Posted in: Reading etc.

“I am trying to find classes for my violin-enthused 2-year-old. In other countries they start violin with the Suzuki method at 2 or 3 but I cannot find any such classes in Brussels.  The Brussels music schools start with “musical awakening” (read rhythm instruments) for young children but they have
next to nothing to offer in specific melody instruments and in the under 4s.  Also, English would be highly preferable to
French in our case.  Does anyone know a group, a class or a
private teacher who would be familiar with the Suzuki method or equivalent, who would welcome a 2-year-old and who would practice with violin/piano or other melody instrument and know English?”

From Readers’ questions and answers in the Brussels Childbirth Trust Magazine, April 2005. Good Lord, have these people no shame?

Yes, I’m sorry. Very sorry. It was rather shocking though.

Yes, absolutely no shame. A two year-old using a motorcycle for violin practice! What is she thinking.

Ahem.
