The Suzuki Triangle (one child's interpretation)

I was recently given a beautiful note by one of my 6 year old students (Katrina) with a note on one side and a picture on the other. I really enjoyed getting it and thought it would be something interesting to post.

She uses inventive spelling in the note and if you're Carl or Tisara you might take a close look at the spelling of my name (this probably won't mean anything to anyone else). Also in the picture she said that there wasn't enough room (or it was too much work - something like that) for us both to hold an instrument so I'm holding the bow and she's holding the violin. Everything is labeled with an initial so that you don't get confused. I thought that was a nice touch.

I also thought it was interesting that she and I are both the same height. I am almost always on my knees with my students and so this is how she views us, as being face to face.

I should also mention that the sideways person is her mom who is sitting on a couch. I also thought this interesting and encouraging that she added this. She of course knows nothing about "The Suzuki Triangle" but it is what she should experience. It was nice to know that she views us as all being a part. It was also encouraging to know that we have this important component in place, functioning effectively enough that the student recognizes it.

But enough of analyzing it - most importantly, it's just a sweet note from a 6 year old. :)
