Evan's Suzuki Book 2 Graduation (14 pieces)

[@EvanPross]

From my experience: 1. Get enough sleep (for both child and parent) 2. Always satisfy your child's basic needs prior to practice (hunger, washroom, etc) 3. Plan your practice (I write everything down). Evan and I talk about what we'll be working on before we begin 4. Add a fun element to the practice at the end (it could be just playing a favourite piece or a game) 5. Communicate with your child's teacher if you have any practice issues. They have a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to offer

[@automaticcaity]

He not only has a great teacher, but great home teachers in his parents. This quality of performance in a child is only achieved when parents are involved! Well done!

[@EvanPross]

Evan is always listening to the Suzuki CD (in the car, in the house and even at night when he goes to sleep). This constant repetition-coupled with his consistent daily practice-makes memorizing the music easier.

[@EvanPross]

Evan's teacher uses "koosh balls" to create relaxed hands and fingers. Try trimming the koosh ball to fit comfortably into your daughter's hand. While she gently holds the ball, ask her to slowly play twinkle A or B one finger at a time. If she does this everyday, her hands and fingers will learn to relax over time. On weekdays, Evan practices BEFORE school for about an hour (better concentration in the morning.) On weekends he practices about 2-3 hours early in the day.

[@e.sren5]

Good advice with the koosh balls, will try it with my students, thank you 🌻

[@princehal4500]

My 9 year old son is working through Book 2 now, and you are an inspiration when the technique seems impossible. You have beautiful hand position. Your gift and hard work is evident. Thank you for sharing.

[@EvanPross]

Evan's teacher and I make up the themes to match the songs. We listen to the tempo and come up with story lyrics to match (in the case of Minuet 2 we adapted the Cinderella story). It works better when you do it together with your child.

[@canadiansoul9401]

I'm 36 years old. Evan is responsible for make me study piano. Since out/2019 I'm in book 2 now. I did book 1 in 30 days. Book 2 I'm in 6 music. Thanks Evan for inspiration. Hello from Brazil.

[@victorkwamitse5815]

Evans has inspired ✨️ me a lot. I couldn't get the chance to learn the piano in my childhood until now, and I'm done with the book already.

[@EvanPross]

Actually no one in the family is a pianist. Evan's teacher spends a lot of time helping Evan articulate the songs. She tries to give him a story he can relate, to add emotion to the piece. I (home coach) can't play the piano so I sing the tunes to help him shape each phrase. Evan is not just playing the piano but is trying to let his piano sing. :)

[@wallaceodle4145]

Thank you for sharing. That does sound very helpful.

@@giocosovelasco I don't use suzuki all that much anymore. Just whatever i feel like really now, but there is a lot of fun and easy songs in there for sure!

[@EvanPross]

Evan just turned eight (he was six years old when he recorded book 1). We're glad you like his playing :)

[@dianwen7919]

Evan is amazing! I can't believe how well he played all the songs in book 2! Very difficult to do!

[@shyamalatharmendiran6423]

You are really helping my daughter soooo much

[@marieflorevl8216]

Merveilleux ! Quelle concentration et quel jeu pendant les 14 morceaux et tout de tête . Un grand plaisir à vous écouter. Le siège semble très confortable

[@GavinPianoViolinCoding]

Beautiful playing

[@cathyyan1992]

I like when you preformed the songs

[@cathyyan1992]

Nice

[@ktmixa]

His performance is so polished and mature. Especially seeing how he emotes the pieces and shapes the nuances of the music. Is someone else in the family also a pianist? He has an amazing talent, well done Evan (mom & dad as well).

[@Sterling4025]

This is EXCELLENT!

[@toyplaytv6367]

Fez belas Apogiaturas e executou muito bem os ralentandos, principalmente nos finais de Cradle song e Arietta. Também adorei os arpejos no minuetto 2.

[@sibelariogulcrum963]

Evan was very talented. How was he when he started piano lessons?

[@JEspin2024]

Congratulation on your book 2 graduation Evan! Wonderful as always!

[@melaniemeyer1633]

This student must definitely have a good teacher. Very well-done.

[@JEspin2024]

I am also a Suzuki mom of two. One is almost graduating from book one and the other is about half way through. Their teacher also does some activities with koosh balls but this idea really catch my attention. I tried to make one koosh ball out of rubber bands but it looked weird and also tried with plastic bags but still not satisfied with the results. Would you share how you made yours?

[@sebastianbruel373]

Im finished book 1 in just 1 year in philppines im in book 2 3rd page and now im 9 years old

[@mtran77utube]

Evan is amazing!!! Yes, he does help his piano sings. My son is turning into 7 this Nov. and getting ready for his book 1 graduation....both of us, Mother and son are looking forward to work on book 2. May i ask how did his teacher find story themes to relate to Evan? Did she made them up :)? I always wanted my son to add his emotion to the songs but don't know how to help him.

[@sofiehillen6261]

good job Evan! cannot wait to see you how successful you will be. Congrats little bro !!!!

[@EvanPross]

Evan was 5.5 yrs old when he started taking piano lessons (he started September 2010). He's now 8 yrs old.

Many thanks for your tip. i made a "koosh ball" for my daughter Sedona and seems work very well.Really appreciated. and also the more i show Evan's video for her. her hands works more like Evan. I have to say when Evan plays piano he is so attractive! He will be a star! I know everyday practice is very important. can i ask does Evan sometimes refuse to practice?like when he is moody or tired. how can you deal with it?

[@lynnyan7993]

Cool

[@desilva1721]

Evan's fingers are perfect when he is playing, Just wondering how can you correct him in the beginning? another question is do you set up certain time to ask him play everyday?

Yes, Evan started learning to read in book 2 and can now fully read music. Up to book 2 he played mostly by memory and by ear.

Evan's performance is absolutely stunning! I guess the mother has paid tons of work behind the scene. Also, the mother or father must have good knowledge in music and piano. It's recorded in 2013, what Evan is doing now? I wonder.
