The Successful Path to Suzuki Violin Twinkle Graduation

October 15, 2015 by Love Nurtured Music

One of the building blocks of Suzuki music education is braking down all skills needed to play the violin (or any instrument) in very small pieces to be absorbed by our children’s minds. This approach is very successful, but requires consistent, repetitive daily practice of all the skill-building exercises, games, posture, movements, and musical concepts. The Suzuki Talent Education process also requires a great dose of patience in the part of the parent, as well as the expert guidance from the Suzuki music teacher.

I am passionate about helping every one of my students develop his/her full music potential and ability. In my effort to help the learning process, I have written an outline of the steps we follow to practice and get excellent at our Twinkle Variations and Theme. Enjoy!

– Rigo Murillo

We’re Planting the Seed of Ability

June 17, 2015 by Love Nurtured Music

Planting The Seed of Ability - “A seed is planted in the earth. We don’t see when the germination begins. That is the doing of mother nature: it is the fundamental working principle. We have to wait patiently. We cannot dig up the seed to see whether it is really growing: to do so would be to destroy everything. Suddenly, a bud appears. What a joy and pleasure to watch it grow! At the same time the root, unseen in the ground, is getting stronger and has the power to produce a big, sturdy tree. I think this is a good analogy for one’s ability. Once the seed is planted, it has to be carefully and patiently tended. Finally, the 'bud,' or talent, presents itself and has to be educated and brought up with perseverance until the 'root,' or power, becomes very strong and is indissolubly tied to the personality. It can be said to be a treasure when a person can accomplish and carry through his or her work to the very last.”     —Shinichi Suzuki, Nurtured By Love

We were live on the 6:00 show. It looks like we will also be on Channel 8 at 12:00 noon with our wonderful Love Nurtured Music Program violin students. Somehow they found out about our program and they sent Brian to do a story about it. ABC’s local Channel 8, WFAA in the 12:00 news show.

Why We LOVE LNM

This-Is-Why-We-Love-LNM "I have been amazed at how my son longs to play his violin now. He’s been learning faster than I thought he would learn."

“My daughter is 10 and loves her violin lessons with Mr. Murillo. She’s been making a lot of progress with her violin pieces since she’s been taking lessons with him."

"Violin lessons with Mr. Rigo are fun and enjoyable. He explains how the Suzuki method works and how to practice the violin pieces better. He’s is an outstanding violinist and teacher.”

"We're so lucky to have found Mr. Rigo's studio. Our daughter has been very motivated to practice and is making remarkable progress since she has been studying at Love Nurtured Music Studio. The group lessons and the recital performances have been totally worth the time involved."
