‘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 old. 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 for night. 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.

Most people agree that computers are the most important (28)
of the 20" century. The
first business computers (29)
introduced just about fifty years ago, and now they are
being used in a wide variety of fields, from banking to space travel. However, until just a few
years ago, computers were very large, expensive machines (30)
by large corporations
and governments. Although everyone knew that computers existed, very few people had ever
seen one and even fewer had used one. Then in the 1970s the silicon chip was invented.
Because this electronic device could (31)
