Characteristics of Advanced Students
A student of mine went to the Greater Washington Suzuki Institute. When he returned his mom gave me notes from a lecture that David Strom made called Characteristics of Advanced Students. I read through the notes and as I got past the first few characteristics my eyes glazed over and I couldn’t read anymore! The amount of thought each item on the list provoked quickly saturated my mind and I never got to the middle or end of the list!
For the rest of the summer I kept the list posted in my studio and I observed people excitedly looking at the list and then their eyes would glaze over and – well you get the picture.
I decided to turn the list into a curriculum that I would share with students throughout the year. I made a simple looking practice sheet with only 3 items of David’s list on each side. That’s because 3 items from his list is plenty to think about! I left room for people to write their own thoughts and boxes to check off like a practice chart. This set of practice charts is what you’ll find to download.
What a fun and meaningful 24 weeks it took to get through the entire list! Students were quite creative with how they used the practice sheets. Some used the check off boxes. Some wrote detailed notes. Many couldn’t wait for the next week’s assignment. I loved how students would spontaneously quote an item from the list they had studied weeks ago. It was great to see them incorporate what they had learned.
Many thanks to David Strom for allowing me to share this with you! The Characteristics of Advanced Students list represents a wonderful role model. We look forward to more from David!
