5 things I wish I'd known before teaching 3-5 yr olds

From the blog post...


"A 3-5-year-old may find it hard to relate to a violin. What can they associate with it?


As educators, we know the advantages that playing a musical instrument has on the brain.


We understand and love how the violin makes us feel when we hear and play it.


We care about the history and diversity of music and want to discover more.


We love the camaraderie of making music together in an ensemble setting.


Your average 3-5-year-old doesn’t care about ANY of this. It hasn’t even crossed their mind. Their interests are being in the moment, getting engrossed in their play, having their basic needs met, exploring and investigating, dinosaurs and watching Bluey. "


I wish I had known about these 5 things in this blog before I started teaching little ones the violin...


I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Check out the blog link below.


Love Laura
