children play by ear first and read the notes
when they reach a certain level of competence.
Perth has several small ensemble groups where
the children can join in and play basic orchestral
music.
This is fun and a very social way to learn
to read music. Of course it is supported by
structured lessons on note reading as part of
the child’s Suzuki training.
As they get older and more competent many children
move on to bigger groups like the West Australian
Youth Strings or the West Australian Youth Music
Association, leading to the Australian Youth
Orchestra.
From there, a number of students graduate at
tertiary level and join the music profession.
