After a year of teaching and guiding Austin on the violin, I’ve truly experienced how important being a supportive parent is to your child.  Suzuki’s philosophy really stresses on the parent involvement, and I think it’s so great that parents are willing to spend time with their children while they are practicing.  Austin truly looks forward to our daily practices and time spent with mommy.  I try to schedule our lesson time once a week like the rest of my students, but it’s hard for me to not ‘correct’ his posture and act like a teacher when we’re practicing.  I have to constantly tell myself just let him play and enjoy during his practice days.  If you’re a parent and you’re reading my blog, I just want to let you know that just having you being there for your child is already time well spent even if you don’t know how to play the instrument.  I want to thank all the parents who are so supportive and helpful toward their children’s learning process.  You might not feel the reward immediately, but it will come and you will enjoy every moment of it once it does:)
