WHO AND WHAT IS SUZUKI?
The Suzuki Method of music education began in the 1950’s by Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998). Dr. Suzuki believed that the best and most effective way to learn music is to be exposed to it from a very early age. He called this the “Mother Tongue” method – young children learning to play an instrument in the same way they learn their own language: by listening, absorbing, and copying. When the child begins learning, it’s “by ear” – music reading is deferred to a later time in the same way speaking comes before reading. Parents are involved in the learning process, joining forces with the teacher to create an enjoyable learning environment.
Dr. Suzuki also held to the philosophy of “Talent Education”- believing that every child has infinite potential. He believed that in teaching the child music, we are, in fact, creating a medium for the emotional and spiritual growth of the child.
