How to encourage the study of the violin in boys and girls from seven to ten years old

Abstract

This work was developed based on my experience as a teacher of the initial level of violin at the Institute of the State University of Guayaquil, where I encountered some difficulties in the early stages of learning in the instrument, which led me to consult with different methods and with the experience of other teachers in my area to find out where the problem was in terms of the non-motivation that some children suffer when they start to study violin, agreeing with the same problem. For this reason, I included in my academic repertory children's didactic songs that were familiar to my students and their colleagues of the same ages, which made the learning more meaningful, emphasizing the practice of the instrument without ignoring the techniques and exercises of fingering that are usually taught at all levels, achieving better academic performance, better predisposition and emotional state and increased self-esteem, creating an atmosphere of empathy between the teacher and the student during the teaching and learning process.
