Hi,

My 5 year old daughter has been taking Suzuki violin lessons for over a year now and is making good progress. She has expressed an interest in piano (her sister just completed grade 6) and I was wondering if anyone has experience of a student taking lessons in the Suzuki tradition on one instrument and a more classical approach on another instrument ?
