Suzuki Method
 

What is Suzuki?

In short, Suzuki was a man that lived and taught in Japan shortly after WWII. He went on to dedicate his life to teaching music to very young children. His method follows the most natural form of learning, the “Mother Tongue Approach”. This approach teaches children music that same what they learn their native language. First students learn by listening and imitating. Repetition is added to convert new skills into habit. Once a solid foundation is in place, note reading is introduced and eventually writing. Most importantly, Dr. Suzuki believed in creating better human beings. He taught teachers to see the violin as a tool to teach valuable life skills and enrich lives. Children are not just taught to be amazing violinist. That is just the one of many magnificent results. And all of this isn’t possible without a strong “Suzuki Triangle”. With the child at the top of the triangle, both the parent and the teacher are at the bottom supporting the growth of the student. The Suzuki Method provides children with a loving and nuturing enviornment that enables them to succeed.
