My lesson that I learned today is "give 'em a day off". My little musicians have been working so hard over the past few months. My goal was to not miss a beat with the new baby's arrival in our lives, and tons of other changes. I didn't want them to fall behind the rest of the class, even there is no such thing as being 'behind' in Suzuki world. You are where you are. This is also not a race, there is no end. What? Is my child going to be the first to play all the violin repertoire there is in the world? That's quite an accomplishment...and then what?
The new goal is to create beautiful music everyday perfecting our craft and be good people while doing it.
Now, if you and your child aren't practicing eveyday or most days, ignore that. It's hogwash.
