#practiceroom #teachingstudio Please help me name my #plushtoy #orangutan ! Leave your suggestions in the comments below! I picked this #plushmonkey up while traveling last weekend! I don’t use toys or gimmicks much in my #suzukiviolin teaching; however, #cutestuffedanimals come in handy during some #violin #practicegames with #younglearners When games are somewhat competitive or when “points” are assigned it’s always #lessstressful for children when they are competing with a #plushanimal or other silly object (rosin, metronome, pencil, etc.) than with the #practicepartner parent or #violinteacher My #plushsloth “Speedy” also reminds #youngmusicians to #practiceslowly Kids are also amused that I know about “Flash” from #zootopia ! #viola #suzukiviola #suzukiteacher #violateacher #orangutan #sloth #violinlessonsforkids #musiceducation (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHQmPpgFLd/?utm_medium=tumblr
