Dd1 is 6.6 and in year 2. She has just started the violin at her own request. I am not sure how far to get involved in her practise. I learnt the violin for a year a little while ago and then moved house and didn't find a new teacher. I don't want to interfere with what her teacher is telling her what to do as I am aware I have very little experience.
She likes it if I get out my violin and play her tune with her (she is learning Mary had a little lamb).
Should I be helping her put her fingers in the right places when she gets it wrong?
Also, she tends to look very awkward when holding her violin so should I be correcting her posture because her teacher seems to be showing her a different way to the way I was taught?
