Margaret Porter is a violinist and music teacher. According to her, the best age to start learning the violin is between three and six. She says, “It's the time when you are learning about the world.” Margaret, who lives in London, likes to take pupils at three and four. However, she has made lots of exceptions for five-year-olds. She started teaching the violin in 1972 and she taught her children's five-year-old school friends at first.

Margaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about twelve pupils and each lesson takes an hour, once half a month. Each pupil also has one individual(个人的) lesson a week with her. Parents have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an interest in the lessons.

In Margaret's opinion, it's important for one to know why music sounds the way it does. Without knowing it, one can't become a great musician at all. So from the earliest lessons, pupils in her class learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years. Margaret says that her method is not meant to produce great violinists. She always suggests that pupils who perform very well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.

( )23.What does Margaret think of the excellent pupils in her class? A．They should practice harder.

D．They will become great violinists using her method.

( )24.What will Margaret probably say when she introduces her classes to parents? A．There are group violin lessons for your children—no more than 5 in each group. B．Learn to play the violin with your children—2 lessons a week. C．You will have to watch your children learn to play the violin. D．I'll look after your children while you learn the violin.
