If you have invested money on violin lessons with a school or teacher, you will know that the amounts paid would not have been small. Naturally, this fact alone should inspire you to show the right dedication and discipline to learning the instrument to make sure of your money's worth. There are also other things to look out for to achieve that.
1. Concentrate fully during the lessons. If you allow yourself to be distracted, be it by your cell phone, friends, television or others, then there are bound to be details missed when the teacher is instructing.
2. If you are allowed to do so, bring an audio or video recording device with you to class. This provides a fast, convenient and effective way to recap when you are at home. It is much better than taking manual notes on pieces of paper.
3. Since you are going to spend money on lessons, make sure you hire the best that your money can afford. Look for the best qualified teachers. Ask for the most successful teacher in the music school you have enrolled in.
4. Buy the best violin that your budget can afford. You will be surprised how much difference a quality violin can make when you are trying to master techniques and songs. There will be a lesser need to battle against poor designs and material which can often hamper a student's progress.
5. Be inquisitive during class. If you do not understand something the teacher is demonstrating or talking about, there is no harm asking for clarification. It is better to go home clear as day, instead of being shrouded in doubt and not having productive practice sessions as a result.
6. Do not slack on practice right before and after each lesson. It has been shown that students absorb even better when they are made to practice what they learned in each lesson right after that. You should also return to the class with the mind fresh by at least practicing the night before.
If you can include the above suggestions into your routine during, before and after lessons, then the violin might not become that difficult to figure out. It is always a waste of money and time to spend on lessons if one does not make the best effort to get the most out of them. Do not make the same mistake as many have done before you. - 20768
