Suzuki Music education combines instrumental teaching with a philosophy embracing the total development of the child.

 

“Character first, ability second.” Dr Suzuki

 

Suzuki Method is:

• Child centred learning that respects and values your child

• Fosters the character and ability of your child

• Grows ability at your child’s rate

• Offers musical, social and cognitive development for your child

• Starts very early from 0yrs up

• Nourishes the spirit

• Supports the parent

• Is nurturing beyond music

 

“Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.” Dr Suzuki

 

Dr Suzuki has called his teaching method the Mother-Tongue Approach. It was inspired by the knowledge that all children learn to speak their native tongue in the supportive environment of their family.

 

When a child learns to speak, the following factors are at work:

• Listening-Motivation

• Repetition

• Step by step mastery

• Memory

• Vocabulary/repertoire

• Parent involvement

• Loving encouragement

 

In the Suzuki approach each of these principles is used in the learning of an instrument (piano, violin, viola, guitar, voice etc.)

Following the parallel with language learning, musical training may also start from birth. As the parents lead with language learning so will your child be guided in the Suzuki approach and easily develop music ability.

 

As with language, musical language begins at birth.
