Zigeunerweizen, Steven Sun violin, Nancy Hagen, paino. Spring recital, 2014
Many parents start their children on violin at a young age of 5 or 6 under the illusion that if the child plays the instrument for 10 years, by age 16 he or she has to be good. The years of playing does not mean anything, it is the hours of practicing that makes the difference. I have seen students on Suzuki Book 5 after playing the violin for 5 years.
Steven Sun started violin with me when he was 7. His
practicing time increased to one hour everyday in the second year after he turned 8. The practice time continued to increase as he was getting more advanced. He joined
the Prep String Orchestra of Chicago Youth Symphony when he was 10. Steven is
16 now. He is a member of CYSO’s Symphony Orchestra, the highest orchestra in
the organization. If he had only reached Suzuki Book 5 in his fifth year of
playing, he would have never developed the skills that enabled him to play a virtuoso violin piece such as Zigeurnerweizen or to win the Chicago Youth Symphony audition. If a child aspires to become an accomplished violinist at 16 like Steven Sun, he or she not only needs to start young on the violin but also needs to practice seriously from the beginning.
