I am about to start my last year in a 5-year teacher training programme in Europe/Hungary and I've been teaching violin in a state school since march 2020. In Hungary we don't solely use the Suzuki violin method, rather the essence of several methodologies is passed on from teacher to student. Learning music is not easy but with time, patience and a good teacher it's possible to reach your goals.
