<p>yolochka, DS’s music teacher grew up in rural contryside. She was an all-state orchestra member in our state when she was a high schooler. Later, I heard she learned from the concert master of the Dallas concert master. She was kind of old trained in a very old school way. It was only when she decided to teach young kids that she received some training in Suzuki method. I think she originally thought it could help her pick up some skills to deal with young kids.</p>
<p>I think DS’s involvement with the music enriches his life and helped him make friends in college. He once told us that listening to and/or playing music is just as important as easting food. I really do not understand this aspect of his life.</p>
