‘The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter, a violinist and music
teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret, who lives in London, prefers to take pupils at
three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year olds. When she started teaching the violin in
1972, her first class consisted of her children's five-year-old school friends.
Magaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an hour, once a
fornight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to attend the classes. It is
important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been
playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and reading of music.
Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform
particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.

THE BEATLES
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there have
been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational
The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in
music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these
songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed
pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it
became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit
record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too
dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs!
However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world
many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
