To All Parents Who Require Their Children Learn Something Hard...And Then Have to Suffer the Consequences
Marty completed Suzuki Violin Book 3 and his last requirement from his teacher was to record himself playing each song. It took a week of attempts but he did it. Most entertaining, however were the bloopers...
That is great! We had to make a book 1 video for Emma and if we kept all the bloopers it would have been hours and hours. It was a hard thing, but I'm now requiring it of my students because I think it is great! Thanks for letting me see it. I'm going to add your link to my blog so I can check back often.
I am SO glad it's not just my house. I thought my ears were going to bleed when I forced Evan to practice piano last week. Because I'm such and evil mom. . .
Kudos to Angela who painstakingly practices with Marty every day and puts up with the good and bad days and always pushes forward with great encouragement. Because of her Marty is doing great!

That is so funny. I just love Marty! He is such a funny kid.
And that is a great idea for his teacher to require that! He'll love having that to look back on.
