At ten, your child concludes the year with a deliciously disciplined musicianship: piano at an exemplary intermediate level and violin showing strong, proficient beginnings. On piano, Hanon‑Faber technique work and selections from Faber Piano Adventures have forged secure fingering, crisp articulation and musical phrasing; online Hanon support was used consistently. As a novice violinist, Jamie Chimchirian Book 1 has produced reliable bow control, improving intonation and brave shifting — all signs of a learner moving from effort to ease.
Enrichment activities (TeachRock Musical Ratios, Dr Haroutounian’s Kindling the Spark and Think Like an Artist, plus Raven Lite listening) have sharpened musical thinking and aural curiosity. I celebrate both the pleasure you take in practice and the uncompromising standards you meet: continue short, focused daily sessions, scale work, sight‑reading and gentle ensemble experience next year. Practise with sumptuous rigor; be exacting, be joyful — and the artistry will deepen. Exemplary technique now, growing expressive command next.
