I was Suzuki parent for my daughter until she quickly outstripped the need for me. My initial impression was that if I'd known how easy that sh*t was, I never would have gone to law school. Among other things, I taught myself Hava Nagila, which I envisioned playing over and over again at the Alzheimer's wing of a Jewish nursing home. Sadly, without the familial call to duty in play, my self study soon fell by the wayside.
My attempt to teach myself clarinet years earlier quickly went nowhere.
