I agree...don't you hate it when teachers force you to use certain fingerings? I prefer suggestions rather than "USE THE FOURTH FINGER HERE!" Everyone has a different hand, so why not let them at least try it, and maybe they will discover that they need your help and will ASK for it!

Hope you don't get hit too hard by the hurricane.

Natti---Please don't die in the hurricanes. And about your review problem, my teacher has a system that seems to work pretty well. It's called "DeCapo Club." It is a chart Mon. Tues. Wed. ect. that has all the Suzuki books 1-8 on it. For example: Sunday is Twinkle Variation A, Monday is Variation B ect. and it goes all the way to the Veracini Sonata at the end of Book 8. I don't know if I descibed in a way that is easy to understand, but you can always e-mail me!

Yes, Sydney, I have done a similar review system. I also used to do a rep/review class once a week...and fervently hated it! Most of my difficulty comes from not being taught very well when I was younger. I'm SO glad that now I have a superb teacher!
